Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań is launching the first in Europe Geodetic – Cartographic and Geomatic Garden. It will be used by young geodesists, cartographers, geomatists and geographers.
There will be a pit located on a square measuring 15 by 20 meters for staking construction poles of the building and performing leveling measurements as part of the exercises related to the geodetic process of servicing construction investments. On the upper terrace there is a solar analematic clock installed, in which a person standing in the appropriate field of the month (gnomon) casts a shadow on the attached hours and thus indicates the local time.
The garden was also equipped with a table of augmented reality with a model of the Faculty of Geographical and Geological Sciences printed in 3D technology. At the entrance the guests can see a replica of the border stone from 1653 with a triangle with the letters S-P-B symbolizing the border between Sweden – Poland – Brandenburg.
