Digital Map Table in Virtual Reality

Description of the product

Developed by Fraunhofer IOSB, the Digital Map Table offers a new perspective in the shared situation visualization and anylsis. The Digital Map Table supports the interdisciplinary and cooperative processing of tasks and can be used in different fields of expertise such as crisis management, situation analysis or sensor deploymant planning.

Features

The extension of the Digital Map Table in Virtual Reality (DigLT- VR) allows certain limitations of the "real world" to be addressed. Virtual reality offers an affordable way of remote collaboration as well as a true three-dimensional display of geodata such as elevation models, 3D-models, and point clouds. An unlimited number of displays of unlimited size can easily be integrated in the virtual environment, so that exprets are no longer bound to practical limitations. The virtual reality variant of the DigLT software (DigLTVR) is connected to the same back end as the web-based client, so all information is available in the real as well as the virtual world.
