Coming soon to Oculus Rift (GIS 4043/4043L- Intro to GIS)


This final module was a bit of a mash up of different concepts. It focused on georeferencing, editing, and creating a 3D scene. The first map shows the UWF campus along with its proximity to an eagle nest, with a buffer of 330 and 660 ft. The gym and Campus Ln road were traced and new polygon features were created. The second map shows this as well however it is now in a 3D landscape. ArcScene was certainly neat and I had no idea such a tool was available in the Arc line up. What immediately came to mind was all the VR technology that is currently in development and on the market. Could you imagine creating the same map in ArcScene then placing yourself into it and walking around, interacting with the small world contained the map? Definitely something to think about and maybe one day that could become a reality.
