Abstract

Currently there are many software packages that allow analysis of geographic information systems (GIS) data. However, these software packages limit user interaction and exploration of the GIS data to 2-dimensional (2D) interface. Virtual reality (VR) technology provides a great way for manipulating and visualizing 3-dimensional (3D) data in three dimensions. This paper presents the use of 3D large screen immersive environments for manipulation and interaction of GIS data in creating and editing GIS shapefiles.
