Virtual Reality to boost forest management
The VRForest research team at the University of Helsinki has designed an app demo for virtual forest management. It takes a quarter of an hour to transform the conference room of the Department of Forest Sciences into a forest in need of thinning.
“The application allows forest owners to test how, for example, upper-layer thinning or clear cutting will change the forest or how profitable a thinning is,” says Mr. Osmo Mattila, PhD (For), one of the team coordinators.
