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).
Benefits:
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.
