Visualisation and Interpretation of Large Datasets Using a Virtual Field Reconnaissance System
Like many geological surveys, the British Geological Survey (BGS) constantly reviews the way it deploys its resources to gather and interpret Meld observations taken from geological mapping programmes. Recently the BGS have fully digitised map production from capture to publication, but more efficiency gains are needed, targeting where field-surveying work can be most effectively carried out using GIS and visualisation technology for significant operational and business improvements. As we develop our information systems capability and knowledge, the BGS intend to extend the use of its immersive 3D Visualisation Facilities (i3DVF) by integrating existing digital field mapping capability into the immersive visualisation facilities, thereby allowing teams to investigate field interpretation using extensive and varied types of information prior to subsequent field visits. This paper introduces the design and development of an innovative new concept and resulting application called GeoVisionary, developed jointly with Virtalis Ltd, a technology/enterprise company that specialises in highly immersive visualisation system builds.
