Harris Corporation Support Helps Launch Penn State’s Geospatial Revolution Media Project
Penn State Public Broadcasting (PSPB) has successfully launched its Geospatial Revolution Project, thanks in part to the support of Harris Corporation. As a major supporter of the educational project, Harris provided funding and contributed the animation skills of one of its technicians. Rob Lowe, geospatial technician at Harris, created the “cosmic zoom” animation for the opening segment of the web-based video series that sends viewers diving from space, through the Earth’s atmosphere and down to street level. The goal of the program is to help educate the public about the creative applications of digital mapping and how it is changing the way we think, behave and interact. The series discusses the benefits of this proliferating technology, as well as related security and privacy issues. Read the full press release here.
