Geoweb3d presenting at the 2010 TUGIS conference

Geoweb3d Inc. will be presenting their technology at the annual Towson University GIS conference (TUGIS). The presentation topic will be 'The Future of 3D GIS Visualization: The Integration of the GPU and the Web'.

The presentation will be part of the 'Internet Mapping Applications' track at 3:30-5:00 pm on Monday, May 24, 2009.  

Abstract:

This presentation will discuss the recent advancements in video card technology and its contribution to Web GIS 3D visualization.  Rapid, accurate, and robust 3D visualizations can now be generated on demand from local, enterprise, and web accessible GIS data.  Today’s Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) technology, most notably driven by the game industry, provides the capability to visualize and analyze native, high resolution, geospatial datasets like never before.

Integrating these modern visualization techniques with Web GIS is at its relative infancy.  The exponential growth of geospatial data served by the web will continue. Digital city content, such as realistic 3D models and Building Information Modeling (BIM) datasets, will be increasingly abundant and accessible.   Frameworks to mash, discover, analyze, serve, and integrate these datasets continue to mature at a rapid pace.    Having visualization technologies that can readily keep pace with these independent advancements will be achieved through adherence to standards and proper integration of GPU technology.

GIS will continue to advance to its native 3D and 4D environment with full analytical and editing capabilities.  Web GIS visualization must be ready to embrace this.  Demonstration of rendering and symbolizing datasets, ranging from the realistic to the thematic, will be provided.
