Foil 45 Use of GIS/VRML on Demand in WebWisdom

From Futures and Features of Webwisdom Electronic Education and Training DoD Modernization Users Group Meeting San Diego -- 24 June 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
1 VRML has been motivated by virtual environments which may be very important
  • e.g. Build a realistic school in VRML
2 However one focussed application is to "virtual field-trip" in our K-12 Living SchoolBook where we have a VRML front end to 3D GIS (Geographical Information System).
  • Preset map, image and USGS (TIGER) data and additional material from teachers
3 Can also use VRML to display results of 3D simulations such as weather predictions
