Chapter 7<\/b><\/p>\n

Photorealistic (recreates reality using photos to texture features) and cartographic (moves 2D thematic mapping techniques into 3D) are the two main types of scenes, or 3D web maps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 4 main elements of scenes are surfaces, features, textures, and atmospheric effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Main Types of Scene Layers (3D Layers)<\/span><\/span>:
\n<\/span>3D Object Scene Layers <\/b>– Used to represent and visualize 3D objects.
\n<\/span>Building Scene Layers <\/b>– Allow the user to visualize complex digital models of buildings and interact with all the components of a building.
\n<\/span>Integrated Mesh Scene Layers<\/b> – Constructed using Drone2Map, which is a desktop app that turns raw, still imagery from drones into valuable information products.
\n<\/span>Point Cloud Scene Layers<\/b> – Provide a fast display of large volumes of symbolized point cloud data.
\n<\/span>Point Scene Layers<\/b> – Used to display large amounts of point data not possible with a point feature layer.
\n<\/span>Voxel Scene Layers<\/b> – Represents multidimensional spatial and temporal information in a 3D volumetric visualization.<\/span><\/p>\n

The General Steps to Creating Web Scenes<\/span><\/span>:
\n<\/span>1. Choose a global or local scene
\n<\/span>2. Choose a basemap
\n<\/span>3. Add layers
\n<\/span>4. Configure layers (layer styles, labels, pop-ups)
\n<\/span>5. Capture slides (if needed)
\n<\/span>6. Save and share\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

VR uses headsets or multiprojected environments to generate 3D views, sounds, and other sensations that simulate a user\u2019s physical presence in a virtual environment. XR refers to all real-and-virtual combined environments and human-machine interactions (AR, VR, and MR). A metaverse is a network of 3D visual worlds focused on social connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

ArcGIS Urban applies GIS technology to urban planning to streamline plan creation, analyze the impact of plans, visualize current projects, and facilitate public engagement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Application based on ideas from Chapter 7<\/b><\/p>\n

I could create a 3D web scene that shows where light pollution might be highest in Delaware County, helping identify areas where wildlife or human health could be impacted. Using land use and building footprint data, I would upload these layers to ArcGIS Online and build the scene in Scene Viewer. I would then extrude the buildings to visualize densely built-up areas and use smart mapping to color-code land use types, highlighting commercial and industrial zones that typically contribute more to light pollution. I would also add a layer for parks or open spaces to show which natural areas are most affected by nearby development.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
