VR-GIS: an integrated platform of VR navigation and GIS analysis for city/region simulation

Published:08 December 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper introduces a virtual city oriented VR-GIS platform which synthesizes several latest information technologies including virtual reality, 3D geographical information system, remote sensing and multi-dimensional visualization. The platform is a seamless integration of VR functions and GIS analysis methods, which can be used to organize and present massive spatial data. It also supplies 3D spatial analysis functions, 3D visualization for spatial process and natural simulation, and serves as an engine platform for digital city.
