This paper describes a novel system for the real-time computational analysis of landscape
models. Users of the system-called Illuminating Clay-alter the topography of a clay …

This book introduces Tangible Landscape, an open source tangible user interface for
geospatial modeling and visualization powered by GRASS GIS and Blender. With Tangible …

Digital landscape models, whether made for purposes of 'visual inference', or for simulating
and understanding behavior or other invisible aspects of the landscape, require abstractions …

Terrains are a crucial component of three‐dimensional scenes and are present in many
Computer Graphics applications. Terrain modeling methods focus on capturing landforms in …

The world consists of many complex systems, ranging from our own bodies to ecosystems to
economic systems. Despite their diversity, complex systems have many structural and …

The free availability of powerful game engines, such as Unreal Engine 4 (UE4), has
revolutionized the possibilities of 3D visualization. These engines include, amongst many …

The dynamic qualities of looking around and moving about, directly sensing spatial queues,
using one's peripheral vision, and focusing with foveal vision on objects of attention are …

In the past few years, significant advances in computer graphics have created exciting new
options for visualizing our environment in three or four dimensions (with animation over time …

A brief review of the historical development is presented, followed by a review and critique of
recent and current simulation media. The primary evaluative criteria are validity and reality of …
