HawkEye is essential for grade levels 4-12. It is the most innovative tool for teaching Earth Sciences.
It offers interactive 3D stereoscopic explorations, using real data from the Earth and Mars.
HawkEye Wizard, the most powerful version,
meets the California Learning Resource Network
(CLRN)
criteria for grade levels 4-7 and 9-12. It is approved, for Legal
and Social Compliance (K-8), by the California Department of Education.
HawkEye Explorer: The Earth and Beyond in Virtual Reality.
With HawkEye Explorer, your 3D stereoscopic voyage of discovery begins with a simple click of the mouse. Within a
second, you are on your way to cruise the Earth and Mars with the most extraordinary software. HawkEye offers guided
audio tours or independent explorations to the bottom of the oceans and to the highest mountains. Cruisers discover by
themselves what the latest advances in the Earth Sciences are all about: plate tectonics and evidence of plate
tectonics like trenches, oceanic ridges, faulting, earthquakes, volcanism, and mountain building. They see the
results of landslides, floods, meteorite impacts, ice ages, erosion, sedimentation, the potential consequences of global
warming, and much more!
For a first voyage, just listen to your guide who, through animations, points to where to look and explains the
significance of what is seen. At each step of this voyage, you have the opportunity to wander around by yourself;
it is easy to move in any direction, zoom in on details or zoom out, modify the relief enhancement or the lighting,
tilt or pan around the view, measure elevations, etc... You may leave the guided tour and travel by yourself to
discover innumerable and fascinating features on the Earth and Mars!
HawkEye offers powerful tools for stereoscopic observation, like the overlay of contour lines with adjustable units
and intervals, the overlay of a USGS map or a satellite image, or the adjustment of the sea level for simulations.
HawkEye Explorer allows students to create their own customized 3D "Scenes" with banners and, if recording is possible,
with audio. A Scene can be saved on a floppy or a flash memory and can be the object of an assignment. Hawkeye
Explorer can read any Scene created with the more powerful version "HawkEye Wizard".
Explorer comes with a large database: data sets of the entire Earth and Mars and large-scale data sets from Arizona,
California, Oregon, and Washington.
HawkEye Wizard: import new data and much more!
HawkEye Wizard meets the CLRN criteria.
HawkEye Wizard is HawkEye Explorer with the ability to import data, either Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)
or mono and stereographic images. For example, all the large-scale USGS or GeoBase (Canada) quadrangles can be
downloaded from the Internet for free and readily imported. Data can be imported from many different formats
(DEM, SDTS, ArcInfo Grid, binary files, etc...) or sources.
Many new tools are provided with Wizard; you may draw hypsographs, place polygons, fences, dots, use
different types of coordinates, paint surfaces, draw lines of slope. With stereoscopic pictures, the "Telemetry mode"
allows the measurement of distances and dimensions; you may use this powerful tool on the stereoscopic pairs sent
by the Martian Rovers and available for free on the Internet.
Wizard comes with a larger database: data sets of the entire Earth and Mars and large-scale data sets from Arizona,
California, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

Hawkeye does not require special equipment and runs on every PC. The common 1024x768 pixels resolution (XGA) or
better is recommended. 800 Mb of disk space is needed. Projectors work well (XGA or better), allowing large audiences
to follow a tour together.
