Abstract

Virtual geographic environments (VGE) are environments pertaining to the relationships between post-humans and 3-D virtual worlds. Post-humans are defined as a combination of humans in the real world and 3-D avatars (3-D representations of participants) in 3-D virtual worlds. VGE can be a platform for the general public to participate in spatial data analysis, in model building and simulation, and in environmental planning related decision-making. In this paper, we present three case studies involving human-data, human-model, and human-human relationships. Three prototype systems exploring the potentials of VGE were designed and developed. The systems can facilitate activities related to public participation in visual impact assessment of urban landscape, wildfire simulation and ecological planning, and country park management.
