Mike Might be slightly off your indoor gis topic but thought I'd draw your attention to two very interesting and related projects.
The first is the University of Nottingham's development of an augmented reality solution to 'look' underground. Use cases here mainly for utility mapping, something I currently do and am always looking for better results. See this pdf for more details http://www.fig.net/pub/fig_2002/Ts5-13/TS5_13_roberts_etal.pdf The second is from the University of South Australia. Some great shots of the researchers playing DOOM against real world backgrounds here http://tinmith.net/index.htm Will On Nov 30, 2007 8:13 PM, Mike Liebhold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been thinking about use case for indoor gis ... including AR, > augmented reality, and immersive media.
