Abstract

Utah Valley University - 3D Virtual Campus
Track: 3D Mapping
Authors: Sowmya Selvarajan, James Darling, Carolyn Kidd

The gro-visualization of the Utah Valley University campus, Orem, UT will offer retrieval of descriptive information of the various sites on campus. This is the first attempt at UVU to build a virtual campus model. This is done in a world coordinate system (e.g. latitude and longitude) using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The benefit of this being, the objects in the 3D visualization are not just mere blocks but transfer meaning in the real world.
