Aachen, May 30th, 2008

Virtual cross-country course is online
Simulation of the eventers' cross-country course

On Saturday, July 5th, 2008 the best eventers in the world will tackle the spectacular cross-country course at the Soers in Aachen. The DHL Prize begins at 9.30 a.m. and is one of the most popular highlights at the World Equestrian Festival, CHIO Aachen (June 27th - July 6th). Starting from today the visitors can already experience the course virtually. "This is a great service for our visitors," commented Show Director, Frank Kemperman, who also knows that: "the riders have been eagerly waiting for the moment when it appears online too." The Aachen-based office for 3D visualisations "no monochrom" created the elaborate simulation. Each obstacle can be selected individually and experienced from a dynamic perspective. Alternatively, the entire course can be followed virtually. After its premiere last year the virtual cross-country course has been considerably extended. Just some of the improvements include considerably more details on the animated obstacles, spectators around the track and dynamic camera work. Of course the route corresponds to the real track of the 2008 course.
