Andorra

Snow-covered mountains in three dimensions


Nation: Andorra
National Day: 06.10.00

 

 

A simulated waterfall which flows into a mountain lake: Andorra presents the beauty of its nature. This mountainous country has the largest connected skiing area in the Pyrenees and its main source of income is tourism.

A "Magical Pyramid" onto which a video is projected shows the most important tourist attractions in Andorra. A mountain landscape undergoing changes of season is also shown on a 3D screen in an IMAX theatre: from blooming flowers in the spring to falling snow in autumn. On their virtual journey through the country visitors also discover Roman churches and bridges and museums which offer information on Andorra's rich past and culture.

A visit to the "Virtual University of Andorra" illustrates the new direction education is taking. This is an example of Andorra's innovative prowess in the area of the Internet and telecommunications.
