Publications

Concepts of Virtual Reality in GIS , Bachelor Thesis
Published on: May 01, 2020
Due to the rapid progress of virtual reality hardware, these technologies are no longer niche products. Together with the much easier access to open geodata, new possibilities for procedural visualizations have opened up, combining Virtual Reality and GIS (VRGIS) technologies. In this bachelor thesis a prototypical implementation of a modern VRGIS software is presented, including concepts for movement, orientation and visualization of data.
