“…In some areas, such as the development of smart cities, urban decision-making, and public participation, AR technologies may improve engagement between citizens and authorities (Sanaeipoor and Emami, 2020). A case study conducted outdoors involving an AR system for thermal target detection in a façade inspection task has been presented and evaluated by Liu et al (2020). A mobile visualization application was developed by Santana et al (2017) to display the results of different simulations and models of energy related simulations at building level using VR and AR environments.…”

Abstract. There is an increasing interest in smart city concept as a technology-based alternative to conventional urban planning approaches. The design and implementation of smart cities require multidisciplinary efforts. As one of the first examples, a smart city concept was developed in Turkey in the year 2018 in collaboration with researchers and experts from various disciplines, such as geomatics and civil engineers, architects, computer scientists and urban planners. The developed concept aimed at designing a city district that targets sustainability, human-centricity, smartness, and safety, along with a sense of place and reflects local expectations in an unconstructed sub-urban area. In the project, the collaborative design process and the usability issues of the presentation environments have been of importance for geomatics professionals. Within the study, the existing settlement areas were modelled by using aerial photogrammetric data and combined with elements designed in various Computer-aided design (CAD) software. In this paper, the smart city design elements, which originate from the design principles such as ensuring nature conservation, green, cultural, safe and smart living spaces, and social responsibility, are explained briefly. The city was presented to the stakeholders via Unity game engine for a realistic experience prior to construction. The potential of Virtual Reality (VR) environments for the design, modelling, and visualization of very high detailed smart city concept is presented and various issues are discussed. The model experiment videos with VR, web-based model and project video can be accessed via the web page www.bizimsehir.org.

“…Concurrently, AR has also been used in an educational context (Wang et al 2017;Turan et al 2018;Al Shuaili et al 2020;George et al 2020;Adedokun-Shittu et al 2020); however, the ability of AR/MR interfaces to connect data and real-world spaces has resulted in several situated, mobile applications. These include: landscape orientation (Carbonell Carrera and Bermejo Asensio 2016), flood risk analyses Hedley 2020, 2021) and precipitation simulation (Lonergan and Hedley 2014), building damage and safety assessment (Imottesjo and Kain 2018;Liu et al 2020), emergency egress analyses (Lochhead and Hedley 2018), teaching cultural heritage (Panou et al 2018;Han et al 2019;Romano and Hedley 2021), and GISenabled smart city applications (Yagol et al 2018). Despite the proliferation of geospatial XR research, there is a lack of theoretical work focused on how and why geospatial XR content is designed a certain way.…”

Modern virtual reality (VR) technology has garnered significant attention in the geographic visualization community for its ability to immerse users within geospatial data sets. While immersion within one-to-one models of reality offers unique and powerful perspectives from which to view spatial data, VR also allows users to transcend the physical limitations of the real world, thereby allowing them to visualize, experience, and interact with spatial data at any scale, in any virtual environment, at any time. This paper presents a collection of 3D data-driven geovisualization case studies, implemented in an immersive virtual GIScience data visualization space (IVEVA). IVEVA was purposefully designed and developed to highlight the differences in spatial data type, the challenges associated with spatial data visualization in an immersive virtual environment, and the importance of adhering to the established design heuristics of cartography, human-computer interaction, and extended reality (XR) development. Through this process, we offer our observations on how well each data type fits this medium of visualization and interpretation, and how the design heuristics play out for an immersive virtual environment that extends the practicable space in which GIScience and visual analytics are performed. Finally, we offer our perspectives, from designing and developing this prototype, on the future for immersive interface-based GIScience.

“…There are many methods for solving the SLAM problem, including probabilistic methods such as the Kalman filter [98] and the extended Kalman filter [84], and geometric approaches such as bundle adjustment [94]. Bundle adjustment is the problem of estimating jointly optimal 3D structure and camera pose parameters through refining a visual reconstruction.…”

A Survey of Marker-Less Tracking and Registration Techniques for Health & Environmental Applications to Augmented Reality and Ubiquitous Geospatial Information Systems

Most existing augmented reality (AR) applications are suitable for cases in which only a small number of real world entities are involved, such as superimposing a character on a single surface. In this case, we only need to calculate pose of the camera relative to that surface. However, when an AR health or environmental application involves a one-to-one relationship between an entity in the real-world and the corresponding object in the computer model (geo-referenced object), we need to estimate the pose of the camera in reference to a common coordinate system for better geo-referenced object registration in the real-world. New innovations in developing cheap sensors, computer vision techniques, machine learning, and computing power have helped to develop applications with more precise matching between a real world and a virtual content. AR Tracking techniques can be divided into two subcategories: marker-based and marker-less approaches. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of marker-less registration and tracking techniques and reviews their most important categories in the context of ubiquitous Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and AR focusing to health and environmental applications. Basic ideas, advantages, and disadvantages, as well as challenges, are discussed for each subcategory of tracking and registration techniques. We need precise enough virtual models of the environment for both calibrations of tracking and visualization. Ubiquitous GISs can play an important role in developing AR in terms of providing seamless and precise spatial data for outdoor (e.g., environmental applications) and indoor (e.g., health applications) environments.
