Explore how Ohio University graduate Jorge Castillo uses photogrammetry’s interactive software to gather information about local ecosystems. Castillo’s work collecting digital models of endangered species paves the way for technology to assist in environmental conservation.

How Photogrammetry Can Aid Ecosystem Conservation Efforts Photogrammetry captures complex environments by integrating precise stop-motion digital images into 2D and 3D software models. These models provide a robust depth of interactive data, enabling users to both re-create and determine new potential outcomes in a wide variety of environments. Photogramme...

In the fall semester, the McClure School's ITS program offered a class on the use of technology in urban environments. The class placed emphasis on a discussion on the positive and negative impacts of technology in cities and communities around the globe and worked with GIS systems to imagine how future technology could benefit our region.
