The Geoweb3d Blog
This is where we give you our perpective on GIS, the Geoweb, and the role of 3D geospatial visualization within a variety of industries.
"Can't I already do 3D GIS for free?"
Every once in a while, someone asks us, "Can't I do this in one of the free virtual globes?" The answer is a little bit of yes and a whole lot of no.
So what is Geoweb3d?
The group of us started with a combined expertise in GIS and 3D graphics, and a realization that no one had yet come up with an adequate solution to fuse the two. We also saw the growing role of the Geoweb and how, by making it an integral part of a geospatial solution, one could tap into a wealth of data, location-based information, and alternative ways of viewing one's area of interest. We envisioned an application that could provide high-end 3D visualization of geographic data without any importing or 'data cooking', and then tie that visualization to the larger Geoweb. Then we got to work.
