| Fledermaus technology was used in a National Geographic Channel show titled 船rain the Ocean' which premiered on Sunday 9 August 2009. 船rain the Ocean' uses 3D animation (also known as CGI animation) to reveal the world under the sea that many say rivals the diversity of the rainforests on land. Even though only 5% of the ocean has been currently mapped and charted, National Geographic uses the information that is available to explore the vast mysteries underwater -from the vast Mid Oceanic Ridge to ocean depths that reach nearly 12,000 feet. |

A video posted on the IVS 3D website, courtesy of the National Geographic Channel, features survey analysis performed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). Scientists there are now able to examine an incredible underwater cannon that measures 300 miles long with recorded depths of up to 1 mile.
Additonal video posted on the IVS 3D website depicts the Hawaii Undersea Research Lab (HURL), with their researchers using Fledermaus technology to fly through an interactive 3D scene where a newly discovered seamount, or underwater volcano, is explored under the ocean near Hawaii.
The show also explores strange structures below the ocean's surface off the island of Oahu, which may provide evidence of an explosion of colossal proportions. HURL also uses Fledermaus to explore this massive landslide, and learn more about the possible implications of this discovery.
Bill McKernan, VP of Sales and Marketing for IVS 3D, commented on the show and finds it exciting to see how their clients use Fledermaus software to pursue scientific discovery and analysis of the ocean.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
