Groundbreaking new Lecht website goes live

January 2010

We're not normally fans of hyperbole but, in this instance, we feel relatively justified to make an exception. Possibly the most advanced work we've made to date, the new Lecht site features state of the art 3D flythroughs, live mountain updates and live interactive webcams.

The Lecht like you've never seen it before - take your own personal flight

Deepblue has just completed work on the new Lecht 2090 resort website. The site features an innovative Flash control panel allowing access to live weather, road and snow reports as well a scrollable live webcam image with zoom options. Perhaps most impressive however are the 3D flythroughs which give views of the Lecht never before seen, including 'flying' down the valley, directly over the ski and mountain bike tracks. The site can be viewed online now at www.lecht.co.uk.

Updates live and direct from the hills - weather, snow, roads and webcams

The new Lecht site also features direct live feeds from the resort - updated in real time as soon as the information becomes available. There's also a forecast system giving weather updates for the next 24 hours. The new site is fully updateable by way of a bespoke CMS and features community upload areas for users to submit video and photos. In addition, users will also be able to prebook rental equipment online through a personalised secure interface which stores user data for repeat visitors.

A Deepblue production from start to finish - the true meaning of multimedia

The Lecht website was produced entirely by Deepblue's team of designers, Flash specialists, programmers and 3D artists. Without this synergy of talent a site of this magnitude would never have been possible. For the 3D alone, we worked as a team, taking maps detailing the topography of the area, integrating it with data from Googlemaps, then outputting to avi format to allow our programmers and Flash specialists to bring it to life. All told around six different elements pulled into one hugely successful multimedia experience.
