“…Some previous studies view interactive 3D visualization as an effective way of presenting geographic data and explaining the complex processes and various phenomena that occur in real environments [26]. Other studies consider 3D technologies as a promising tool for the future of advanced 3D cartographic products [13,27]. Weber et al [28] and Hirmas et al [6] focus on the possibility of using 3D geovisualization when teaching geography; Bleisch and Dykes [29] describe the utilization of 3D geovisualization for planning mountain hikes and evaluation of 3D hiking maps.…”

“…The importance of 3D visualization increases also in other fields such as crisis management and air traffic control (ATC), which represent geoscientific areas highly motivated to secure user-friendly ergonomics [13,14]. Creating a user-friendly interface preventing human errors should be the highest priority in user interface engineering; at the same time this type of information depiction is the key factor in influencing the processing of visual stimuli.…”

This study explores the influence of stereoscopic (real) 3D and monoscopic (pseudo) 3D visualization on the human ability to reckon altitude information in noninteractive and interactive 3D geovisualizations. A two phased experiment was carried out to compare the performance of two groups of participants, one of them using the real 3D and the other one pseudo 3D visualization of geographical data. A homogeneous group of 61 psychology students, inexperienced in processing of geographical data, were tested with respect to their efficiency at identifying altitudes of the displayed landscape. The first phase of the experiment was designed as non-interactive, where static 3D visual displays were presented; the second phase was designed as interactive and the participants were allowed to explore the scene by adjusting the position of the virtual camera. The investigated variables included accuracy at altitude identification, time demands and the amount of the participant's motor activity performed during interaction with geovisualization. The interface was created using a Motion Capture system, Wii Remote Controller, widescreen projection and the passive Dolby 3D technology (for real 3D vision). The real 3D visual display was shown to significantly increase the accuracy of the landscape altitude identification in non-interactive tasks. As expected, in the interactive phase there were differences in accuracy flattened out between groups due to the possibility of interaction, with no other statistically significant differences in completion times or motor activity. The increased number of omitted objects in real 3D condition was further subjected to an exploratory analysis.

“…For that reason it is not possible to search for geographic data for a certain area using search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. Furthermore, such a limitation of geographic information discovery limits the reuse of geographic information [11]. These are, so far, interoperability of spatial data, metadata of spatial data and services, data and service sharing, network services.…”

Abstract. This paper deals with cross-domain environmental aspects of noise mapping which is commonly understood as a stand-alone initiative. Scientific core of this research lies in the integration of noise mapping with interoperable data sources, where the European Union's INSPIRE (INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe) Directive is nowadays one of the main.Principles of noise mapping according to the END (European Noise Directive), OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) CityGML specification, X3D (Extensible 3D) and application schemas in INSPIRE are depicted at the beginning. Special attention is then paid to the specifics of INSPIRE spatial data theme called buildings, including its extension possibilities. Motivations for 3D application schema of INSPIRE buildings are discussed while only 2D application schema is the legally binding one. On the other hand, 3D application schema is recommended by the INSPIRE Technical Guidelines. We also deal with OGC CityGML specification since it is the basis for the 3D application schema. We took a step forward to publish the results of noise mapping based on INSPIRE application schema through X3D technology on the Web. This enables to disseminate information on noise mapping to wide audience through next generation Web applications.The paper proposes formalised methodology on X3D-based application development through the XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations). Noise mapping was taken as a use case. There are discussions on benefits and limitations of X3D visualization as well as differences between the X3D presentation and storage of 3D geospatial data according to INSPIRE application schema on buildings at the end.

“…Interactive 3D visualization of spatial data is nowadays used for many applications and for many issues. As the use of 3D visualization of spatial data in areas of emergency and crisis management, noise mapping, urban planning, geography teaching or virtual tourism is growing (Lin et al, 2015;Hirmas et al, 2014;Herman and Reznik, 2013;Reznik et al, 2013;Kovalcik et al, 2012;Konecny, 2011;Stanek et al, 2010), the usability of 3D visualization are discussed within the field of human factors more often. Some authors, e.g.…”

ThS16: Perceptual and cognitive experiments with imagery and 3D models KEY WORDS: 3D visualization, exploratory study, interactive visualization, perspective view, usability, user performance. ABSTRACT:Interactive 3D visualizations of spatial data are currently available and popular through various applications such as Google Earth, ArcScene, etc. Several scientific studies have focused on user performance with 3D visualization, but static perspective views are used as stimuli in most of the studies. The main objective of this paper is to try to identify potential differences in user performance with static perspective views and interactive visualizations. This research is an exploratory study. An experiment was designed as a between-subject study and a customized testing tool based on open web technologies was used for the experiment. The testing set consists of an initial questionnaire, a training task and four experimental tasks. Selection of the highest point and determination of visibility from the top of a mountain were used as the experimental tasks. Speed and accuracy of each task performance of participants were recorded. The movement and actions in the virtual environment were also recorded within the interactive variant. The results show that participants deal with the tasks faster when using static visualization. The average error rate was also higher in the static variant. The findings from this pilot study will be used for further testing, especially for formulating of hypotheses and designing of subsequent experiments.
