  • Understanding Historical Change
    Understanding Historical Change
    VirtualGIS can be used to describe historical perspectives and demonstrate geographic and urban changes over time.
  • Model Weather Effects
    Model Weather Effects
    Model realistic weather effects utilizing moving cloud layers with user-defined control over cloud texture, color and opacity, altitude, speed and direction.
  • Optimize Terrain
    Optimize Terrain
    Optimize terrain data presentation in the VirtualGIS Viewer, with options such as processing a TIN Mesh to retain detail while utilizing the fewest triangles possible; and utilizing VirtualDEMs to reduce triangle throughput without needing expensive pre-processing of the data.
  • Threat Analysis
    Threat Analysis
    Define single or multiple observation or signal initiation points, specify range and field of view and generate observer viewshed domes to determine which observers have line-of-site to a particular location.
  • Flight Paths and Real Simulation
    Flight Paths and Real Simulation
    Create user-defined flight paths and edit, update, record and playback in VirtualGIS or create AVI and MPEG movies.
  • 3D Stereo Display Mode
    3D Stereo Display Mode
    For visual analysis, utilize an interactive 3D stereo display mode.
  • VirtualGIS Integrated in IMAGINE Ribbon Interface
    VirtualGIS Integrated in IMAGINE Ribbon Interface
    VirtualGIS has been integrated as the '3D View' in the ERDAS IMAGINE ribbon interface.
  • Fore!
    Fore!
    Model the fairway, sand traps, water, trees and putting green, and even add a flag at the hole.
  • Subsurface Modeling
    Subsurface Modeling
    Mining and exploration companies create a realistic portrait of underground environments, using VirtualGIS to render multiple DEMs at varying elevations and model underground 3D structures, bore data, surfaces and other features.


Visually Enhance Your Presentation
Visualize and understand terrestrial phenomena and features that are only discernible in three dimensions.  Make clear dynamic presentations to those with little or no experience within the mapping sciences.


Simulate Real World Scenarios
IMAGINE VirtualGIS provides 2D and 3D views of real world situations, such as a battlefield scenario. Draping geographic information layers over terrain data enables mission planning and familiarizing troops with inaccessible or hostile terrain. IMAGINE VirtualGIS also provides key data synthesis and analysis capabilities supporting presentation of ‘what if’ scenarios.


Facilitate Infrastructure Planning
Locating the ideal transportation corridor requires careful analysis of large GIS databases. IMAGINE VirtualGIS allows you to analyze any number of feasibility studies in 3D, including terrain, slope, visual impact, urban density, public lands, wetlands and more.
