Abstract

A 3D Shenzhen city web platform based on WE-BVRGIS is presented. A 3D globe browser is employed to load all kinds of demanded data of the city, such as 3D building model data, residents information, real-time and historical traffic data. Using these data, the 3D analysis and visualization of the concerned city massive information are conducted in the platform. All the presented functions of the platform are extracted from the practical customer demand. The system design has considered some existing Geographic human-computer interaction (GeoHCI) research results.
