Ocean Planet: Final Version

The Ocean Planet is a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution which opened in Washington DC on April 22, 1995. A part of the exhibition was a computer flyby of the Pacific Ocean developed in the SVS. This animation represents a stage in the development of that flyby.

An animated fly-by from a point in space above North America to soar over the Pacific, then to dive near Hawaii and fly underwater past Japan, through the Mariana trench, to resurface near New Guinea.
