• 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: o statistic data in 3D maps ->we can hear

what the number's are sayingo Animation-> easily understand the 5-10

year time serialo 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 3DEasy to understand thematic maps

• More applications:EduationGalaxy or star mapsUnderground maps
