Gudday, Group.
This is just a teaser to find what level of interest there is in the GIS community at large for true terrain/urban visualisation and simulation.
As a discipline, we've been plodding on for years with 2D vectors. With the advent of a 3D capability in our mainstream GIS software, we've recently brought DEM's and the 3rd dimension, in general, into play, however it is my opinion that true 3D is only achieved when we can visualise our data as a true "out of window" view.
This, of course, requires 3D models, trees, textures, and all the stuff that are achievable in the simulation space but haven't yet made their way into "GIS".
Thoughts?
Ciao, Graeme
