To capture and digitize an actual city requires the complex integration of aerial photography, ground-based photography, laser scanning, maps and databases and intricate data/image processing.
GeoSim’s ground-breaking technology
enables straightforward integration of its 3D-city models with
other city related content (geocoded databases, web content,
customized applications and more) and efficient delivery
according to the speed of the Internet connection and the type
of the terminal device:
For high-speed connection to PC terminals
(desktops or laptops equiped with standard 3D-graphic cards), the city model with associated content are streamed in real-time allowing for online browsing and visualization.
For low-to-medium speed connection to PC terminals, the
city model has to be preinstalled on the client side prior to
starting an online session.
For PDA or cellular devices, which do not support 3D image
rendering, individual images or video streams "on demand" are
rendered by the web server and streamed to the client side.
