TerraTours® and GISLink
GISLink and TerraTours

The GISLink option for TerraTools provides the capability to link to any georeferenced object in your GIS source data with its corresponding 3D realization as depicted in the TerraTools 3D visualization.

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. Supported by our TerraTours integrated viewer, TerraSim can help you deliver compelling 3D applications to your customers.

GISLink

  • Supports static linkage of interactive multimedia sources during database compilation
  • Creates a linked query layer to your GIS attribution
  • Supports dynamic linkage of interactive media files within TerraTours viewer

TerraTours

  • Easy query of cartographic source data attribution in a 3D real-time environment
  • Use of familiar media playback applications
  • No limits to type or flexibility of associated information because all TerraTours links are URLs

Windows 2000/XP® workstations with most commercially available OpenGL graphics cards:

  • Minimum 1GHz processor
  • 512MB RAM
  • 20MB of available hard drive space
  • Dual monitor set-up recommended

Practical Applications and Widespread Distribution

GISLink technology is useful in many commercial environments such as emergency management, security planning, and urban planning and design. GISLink organizes and compiles queryable files and data attribution automatically into the TerraTours runtime.

By making use of media such as of video clips, still photography, audio files, and web-enabled text, TerraTours extends TSGFly to a higher level of end-user interactivity. This provides a logical, structural organization for multi-intelligence data with a user-friendly interface.
