Our efforts at producing 3D visualizations
of Tucson and the surrounding areas have been
limited to two focus projects, both of which
use VRML as a language to describe the 3D spatial
representation of the objects with respect to each other.
The first project allows you to move art
objects around the University of Arizona
campus.To try your hand at that, click
here.
The second is an interactive 3D GIS of the
Santa Rita Experimental Range (SRER), an
rangeland used experimentally since the early
1900's. For more on the SRER, visit http://ag.arizona.edu/SRER/.

Both of these models were built with a
good deal of labor, but it is our intent that
these kinds of models can be built
automatically from a GIS using live data from
a database.
