TLDR
The article deals with the classification and explanation of the different true-3D visualisation techniques so far materialized for geodata at the Institute for Cartography of the Dresden University of Technology.Abstract:
In different scientific fields, the abbreviation ‘3D’ is used in a multitude of ways. Hence, one might easily lose track of what 3D means in a particular context. 3D is just a generic term which the authors are trying to classify into different groups. An overview of the technical status of 3D technologies serves to explain the importance of the three-dimensionality in cartography. Solid landscape embodiments as well as pseudo-three-dimensional and truly three-dimensional autostereoscopic visualisations on planar displays are treated. Starting with the reasons for the advantages and the necessities for true-3D representations the article deals with the classification and explanation of the different true-3D visualisation techniques so far materialized for geodata, in particular at the Institute for Cartography of the Dresden University of Technology.read more

A sensorimotor account of vision and visual consciousness-Authors' Response-Acting out our sensory experience
J. Kevin O'Regan,Alva Noë +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that the brain produces an internal representation of the world, and the activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing, but it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness.

Exploring differences of visual attention in pedestrian navigation when using 2D maps and 3D geo-browsers
TL;DR: Eye tracking was employed to show differences of visual attention in pedestrian navigation between a 2D map (Google Map) and a 3D geo-browser (Google Earth), which indicated that benefits and drawbacks of 3D representations are task dependent.

Virtual Reality (VR) and Open Source Software: A Workflow for Constructing an Interactive Cartographic VR Environment to Explore Urban Landscapes
TL;DR: The project presented in this paper suggests a workflow of constructing an urban VR landscape without any costs for data and software, which is planned to be offered as a virtual orientation system for campus visitors, such as new geography/geomatics students trying to locate their cartography lecturers.

Lightweight Relief Shearing for Enhanced Terrain Perception on Interactive Maps
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore interactive relief shearing, a set of nonintrusive, direct manipulation interactions that expose depth and shape information in terrain maps using ephemeral animations.

An Exploratory Study Investigating Gender Effects on Using 3D Maps for Spatial Orientation in Wayfinding
Hua Liao,Weihua Dong +1 more
TL;DR: Gender effects on using 3D maps for spatial orientation are explored, and it is observed that males using the 3D map paid more attention to landmarks in the environment and performed better than when using the conventional 2D map, whereas female performance did not show any significant difference between the two types of map usage.

Two mechanisms of vision in primates.
TL;DR: The visual mechanisms of the brain are examined to test the idea that vision involves two parallel processes; one ambient, determining space at large around the body, the other focal which examines detail in small areas of space.
