Immersive VR Experience of Redeveloped Post-industrial Sites: The Example of “Zeche Holland” in Bochum-Wattenscheid

Dennis Edler, Julian Keil, Timo Wiedenlübbert et al. · 15 Oct 2019

Abstract Modern hardware and software innovations in the field of virtual reality (VR), such as VR headsets and accessible game engines, allow cartographers to create 3D environments which can be experienced from the ego perspective in real time and with a simulated illusion of physical presence (immersion) in the virtual representation. The new immersive experience…

Creating Immersive Virtual Environments Based on Open Geospatial Data and Game Engines

Julian Keil, Dennis Edler, Thomas Schmitt et al. · 8 Jan 2021

Abstract Modern game engines like Unity allow users to create realistic 3D environments containing terrains as well as natural and artificial objects easily and swiftly. In addition, recent advances of game engine capabilities enable effortless implementation of virtual reality (VR) compatibility. 3D environments created with VR compatibility can be experienced from an egocentric and stereoscopic…

Virtual Reality (VR) and Open Source Software: A Workflow for Constructing an Interactive Cartographic VR Environment to Explore Urban Landscapes

Dennis Edler, Adalbert Husar, Julian Keil et al. · 1 Jan 2018

In recent years, hardware and software innovations in the computer and video game industries have established affordable Virtual Reality (VR) systems as mass media products. Modern VR headsets, such as HTCVive and Oculus Rift, are used to play games at home, while being part of VR landscapes controlled via natural body movements transported from the…

Audiovisual Cartography: Established and New Multimedia Approaches to Represent Soundscapes

Dennis Edler, Olaf Kühne, Julian Keil et al. · 4 Feb 2019

Since the mid-1990s, sound has been discussed and used in multimedia cartography. There are four main variants of auditory map elements that have been established in the theory and practice of audiovisual cartography, i.e. abstract sounds/abstract sound sequences, speech, music and, especially, audiorealistic sequences representing so-called “soundscapes”. In cartography, soundscapes are often addressed in large-scale…
