3D is a new research area in cartography
• My research theme: 3D applications in
cartography
• My goal: show the potential in 3D
technology
• In this presentation I represent thematic
maps
•
•
New visualization methods:
o
statistic data in 3D maps ->we can hear
what the number's are saying
o
Animation-> easily understand the 5-10
year time serial
o
Connect different topics
•
Comprehensive visualization methods,
different maps:
–Social data
–Temporal changes in mining
–Connect minerals and GDP data
–Economic data: 5-10 year time serial
•
Output:
 Picture (jpg, png, tiff)
 Video (avi, mpeg)
 Interactive 3D modell, a 3D viewer
needed (obj, x3d, 3ds)
 3D application
•
Conclusion:
 we can represent more data with 3D
 Easy to understand thematic maps
•
More applications:
 Eduation
 Galaxy or star maps
 Underground maps
