3D PHILIPPINES INITIATIVE [ 3DPi ]
Brief Overview
3D Philippines Initiative aims to create a 3D virtual world of the Philippines, where communities can create a bedrock of shared information and resources. This collaborative undertaking intends to develop a complete and usable 3D model of the Philippines on Google Earth using Google SketchUp . This will include pertinent metadata to which can be used by various applications that will benefit not only the corporate, government, and educational sectors, but the Philippine society as whole.

Beneficiary
In the long term, this 3D Philippines Initiative can provide the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), a vehicle to evaluate the extent of accomplished learning of the CICIT beneficiary schools and other CICT programs projects. Likewise, content creation from these schools can benefit their local government agencies and trade sector through a shared resource data for community awareness, disaster response and coordination, security and tourism to mention a few.
1st Initiative
COMDDAP jump-starts this project through the 3DPi SketchUP, a model your campus on Google Earth Competition and the 3DPi MatchUP, a competition to model Philippine Heritage Sites on Google Earth.
This contest will be open to all GE enthusiasts, schools and universities nationwide, specifically targeting the CICT iSchool beneficiary schools. The contest was launched during COMDDAP EXPO MANILA 2009, which took place at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City on December 3-6, 2009.
Through sponsorships from the private sector and support of the CICIT, COMDDAP will initiate an awareness campaign and manage this competition
