Pittsburgh, PA - TerraSim will unveil its TerraTours 3D GIS viewer at the ASPRS/MAPPS meeting on Terrain Visualization in Charleston, SC on October 28, 2003 at Booth 415.
TerraTours provides access to a variety of web-based media including audio, video, still images, and web pages, presented as graphical links in a real-time 3D display. In addition, all geospatial attribution present in the source vector data used to construct the 3D visualization is available for query and display.
TerraTours is a functional extension of TerraSim's highly successful TSGFly™ real-time display technology, allowing customers to execute a mixed 3D GIS deployment strategy, sharing a common functional architecture. As with TSGFly, TerraTours is optimized to provide high-performance graphics on low-cost Windows® workstations.
TerraTours employs TerraSim's GISLink™ technology, which allows users to link arbitrary multimedia objects to specific 3D geographic features in the visualization. GISLink delivers flexibility in link creation, allowing users to assign multimedia to geographic features during database creation, or dynamically, within the TerraTours display and query environment.
By using TerraTools, TerraSim's visualization construction toolset, rapid update to complex urban areas can be easily achieved as a natural consequence of GIS maintenance, by leveraging the reusable process flow graph architecture of TerraTools. Improvements to your GIS source base, including links to multimedia, can automatically be compiled into an updated TerraTours display and query environment.
TerraTours offers a basis for delivery of highly configurable real-time viewing solutions for an extensive range of end-user applications, including urban redevelopment and site planning, situation awareness for industrial security and site monitoring, as well as homeland defense applications.
