ABSTRACT

The integration of three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics technologies with geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing technologies is creating exciting new applications in geo-spatial visualisation and analysis. Sophisticated software is available to render realistic views of nature and to interact with spatial data intuitively.
