3D Map of Bournemouth

This incredible three-dimensional map of Bournemouth is made from 700 million individual points of light.
Ordnance Survey has been trialling the use of incredibly accurate lasers to create a spectacularly detailed map that could change the way the national mapping agency works and transform the way we think of maps forever.
The trials have been carried out in Bournemouth, with the town centre captured in startling detail. Experts say the technology could revolutionise the future of personal navigation, tourism and the planning process as well as aiding architects, and the emergency and security services.
