Foil 47 The Spatial Metaphor

From CPS600 Collaboration Presentation CPS600 Spring Semester 1995 Technologies for the Information Age -- March 1995. by Roman Markowski and Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE

Mosaic naturally implements hyperlinked multimedia material as in digital library
However MOO and indeed flight simulators and many role playing and adventure games are based around two or better three dimensional rendered graphics
Terrain Rendering is technology needed to convert 3D world into video stream
Suggest such Geographical Information System approach to spatially labelled data but Mosaic for "library" information
Use GIS/3D rendering to cruise around world -- "land at" Airport and there open Mosaic window for listing of plane schedules
  • This becomes obvious digital Yellow Page implementation
