Abstract
Virtual Reality based geographic information systems are successfully employed
today for real-time visualization in such diverse fields as urban planning, city planning
and architectural design. A Virtual Reality based software solution allows the interactive
visualization of high resolution 3D terrain data over an intra and internet. Due to
advanced software technology and innovative data management concepts, large amounts
of data may be processed in real time. Digital elevation models, high resolution satellite
images, 3D buildings and vector data provide real life applications with the information
