A presentation on creating aesthetic visualisations using open-source elevation data, software, and tools.


The title plays on the phrase "Digital Elevation Models", creating realistic and diorama-like visualizations using real-world elevation data.

During this presentation, the speaker will explore different approaches to producing authentic and artistic visualizations using open-source LiDAR data and open-source tools, exhibited on elevationaotearoa.co.nz and under their personal brand. They will show a selection of their visualizations, with the goal of illustrating the high quality of these datasets and demonstrating the potential they hold for various applications for New Zealand.
