| Summary: | With new technology of hardware a
nd software available today, more
and more research on 3D capabilities were carried out, tested and
incorporated with GIS as an effort to realize the components of 3D
GIS such as 3D navigation. Many navigation systems use 2D maps to
represent the real world objects and situations; and most of them were
not able to provide real spatial information (shapes, colors or
materials) of the objects or scenes,
as we perceiv
ed. Features and
navigational landmarks were not easil
y available for navigating in the
real world, as they were very useful and helpful for the navigation
purposes. This chapter describes an experiment on 3D navigation
(indoor and outdoor) with
in building environm
ent. We utilize a freely
available 3D game engine as a navigation tool couple with simple
programming effort. We also incorporated the navigation system with
spatial database management system (DBMS). The navigation system
works and will be presented. The outlook and future works on the
proposed navigation system for 3D GIS will be highlighted. |
