Abstract: Tuvalu Visualization Projectis an artistic visualization using Google Earth. This project is composed of two elements. 1st. Visualization and communication system of NPO Tuvalu OverviewsBuild the Future with 10,000 Tuvaluan, 2nd.Tuvalu Mappingthat is constructed of 3300 photographs. The purpose of project is disclosing actual information aboutPeople and Scenery in Tuvalu to the world. It is said that the global warming is exposing Tuvalu to sea level rising. However, we suppose that it is important to understand not only the problem of global warming, but also the real situation of Tuvalu. The Internet is an effective tool for collecting information, but it was dif?cult to obtain information of the real situation of Tuvalu from the Internet. Therefore, we produced this project to present the realities of People and Scenery of Tuvalu, to improve the interest in Tuvalu, and to receive feedback from all over the world.
