GIS Live 2004
"Crossing Boundaries with GIS"

Sessions Previews

3-D Visualization with GIS
J J Walters and Team
City of Raleigh

Description:

You already use maps to examine the spatial relationships in your data—now see the effect that mountains, valleys, building profiles, and other three-dimensional objects have on these relationships. Learn how making maps three-dimensional can help us understand more about the world in which we live.

Preparing for the Session:

K

What is "3D"? Can you find some three-dimensional images on the Internet? How might these images help us better understand our world?

W

What did you learn about GIS and ways in which three dimensional maps can be used?

L

What do you think about these three dimensional maps? What other questions do you have about how three dimensional maps could be used to help us solve complex problems?
