• Tradtional mapping and "ordinary" GIS products do not adequately represent our earth surface.
• Many organizations fail to present their data to non GIS users within their organization (or to the public) in a intuitive and meaningful way.
• When people talk in the context of understanding, the statement
  "I understand" is synonymous with "I see".

       Our Purpose:

• Produce content for the private sector as well as continuing scientific research into Advanced Geographic Visualization techniques.
• Expand spatial awareness by using emerging technologies as a medium to provide new insight into information attributes that possess a spatial component. (80% of all data has a spatial component).

• The results allow business and non-profits to view "what if","what was", and "what shall be" scenarios like never before.
• It serves as launchpad for contining scientific modeling and research into the latest realms of Geography. That is, the 3rd dimension, as well as the 4th dimension, the time component. (Hence our name).
• Just as exciting, are the educational opportunitys that can be provided to young and  old alike.
