Economic and Social data in 3D thematic maps Katalin Zsoldi Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest Departmentof Cartography and Geoinformatics
3D is a new research area in cartography • My research theme: 3D applications in cartography • My goal: show the potential in 3D technology • In this presentation I represent thematic maps
New visualization methods: • statistic data in 3D maps ->we can hear what the number's are saying • Animation-> easily understand the 5-10 year time serial • Connect different topics
Comprehensive visualization methods, different maps: • Social data • Temporal changes in mining • Connect minerals and GDP data • Economic data: 5-10 year time serial
Output: • Picture (jpg, png, tiff) • Video (avi, mpeg) • Interactive 3D modell, a 3D viewer needed (obj, x3d, 3ds) • 3D application
Conclusion: • we can represent more data with 3D • Easy to understand thematic maps • More applications: • Eduation • Galaxy or star maps • Underground maps
