The view of the Earth from space is the only perspective that allows us to observe changes on our planet. To demonstrate the relevance and value of Earth observation in terms of environmental and socio-economic benefits, the journey takes us to current issues around climate change with a virtual presentation. Satellite imagery provides the stunning views of the Earth that document and assess the changes. Based on the technologies developed for the “Φ-Experience”, the Deep Space 8K application “Earth from Space” provides a stunning and detailed insight into global change.
