(Taiwan Business News) Chunghwa Telecom ShowTaiwan provides the largest 3D map service in Taiwan, China. In 2014, it will expand the "3D Cloud-Building Project" through points, lines and areas, support the domestic 3D industry, vertically integrate academia and industry through industry-academia cooperation, and actively cultivate talent for the 3D digital content industry.

The "3D Cloud-Building Project" builds a 3D cloud tour platform in three stages: "points, lines and areas." The first stage starts with campuses across Taiwan, China as the "points," laying a foundation and cultivating talent to build 3D campuses. At present, 30 complete campuses are open for the public to browse online (http://showtaiwan.hinet.net); the second stage expands outward to campus life circles as "lines," adding domestic 3D achievements such as national scenic areas, religious buildings, townships, offshore islands and islets, achieving 3D coverage of county and city life circles across the whole "area," and integrating the results to attract more resources and make the industry flourish further; the third stage introduces Chunghwa Telecom ICT services, such as indoor panoramic services, iEN smart energy-saving services, and Clairvoyance cloud surveillance recording, creating entirely new value-added application services and making the 3D cloud tour platform more complete.
