The 3D diagram that is used as
a reference for all the items in
this product: the faults, pictures,
features and panoramas.
The Miri Airport Road outcrop is presented on your PC through a wealth of drawings, maps and 3-dimensional diagrams, high resolution pictures and full-circle panoramas. Interactive animations show how the various types of faults form. The 19 panoramas allow an exploration of virtually all corners of the outcrop. Step by step, picture by picture, the path of some 20 faults can be followed throughout the outcrop. A specially drafted 3-dimensional diagram shows the location of all pictures.

The dynamics of the faults is brought to life through an animation which shows the deposition of the sediments, and their subsequent faulting in a complex series of blocks. The end animation blends into a picture of the outcrop, powerfully demonstrating the evolution of the faults which dissect the rocks. A comprehensive library of annotated pictures illustrates many of the deformation features that can be studied in the outcrop. It is complemented by a rich set of photographs showing general views, rock types, sedimentary structures, trace fossils and diagenetic features.
 
Screens (Click for a larger image. To ensure they display faster these have been saved with medium resolution.)

These screens give you a good feel of the information that's on the CD. Key things to note are the panoramas that will allow you to virtually explore the site by looking around in the 360 picture and zooming in to areas of interest. The 400+ pictures cover fault aspects as well as the general, deformation and sedimentary features. Not forgetting a short tour of Miri..!

 
 
 
 
Couple of examples below showing the difference between normal picture views (630x473) and the detailed views (2048x1536). The pictures on the left show "normal" or full views and those on the right are in "max" mode and only show a portion of the whole picture. Navigating around the picture is either by means of the vertical and horizontal scroll bars of by grabbing any portion of the picture and dragging it around the screen.
