IBM's Box X Technology Helping Lake George

Box XAllows Viewers to Study 3-D Models of Lake George's Terrain, Weather Forecast, Circulation Modeling, Velocity, Run-off Modeling and More

The FUND for Lake George has been persevering to protect the Queen of American Lakes since 1980; their newly opened "Center for Lake George" features visualization technology to bring new understanding to the science behind the lake's biggest threats.

In a Dec. 15 interview, the FUND's Corrina Parnapy, Water Quality Outreach Coordinator, opened up the center's doors and revealed everything that was waiting inside.

Life-size landscape portraits by Carl Heilman, II, grace the walls and a large wooden table is surrounded by plush black chairs, but the focus quickly flashes to a gigantic screen in the forefront of the room.

The state-of-the-art meeting room holds an over eighty-inch monitor that utilizes IBM's "Box X," a futuristic software that allows viewers to study 3-D models of Lake George's terrain, weather forecast, circulation modeling, velocity, run-off modeling and more.

Parnapy displayed several images, whose graphics were crystal clear, and explained how instrumental this technology will be in educating the public.
