Hephaestus

“The Hephaestus application is a software product that allows access to complex sets of data that were traditionally only available to experts in Earth Observation and Remote Sensing teams. This application was initially conceived as a result of the Chilean Mining opportunity funded by Innovate UK.

The pilot application showed how the satellite data products could be visualized in 3D by end-users without requiring any specialist knowledge, skills or expensive hardware. This interactive application allows users to “fly” through the region of Chile where the products were created and navigate directly to specific points of interest.”
