3D terrain visualization of geographic information systems (GIS) data has become an important issue in recent years. This is due to the emergence of new geo-browsers such as Google Earth, widely popular among users. The availability of 3D representation tools has increased the demand for 3D terrain visualization. The aim of this paper is to review the literature related to the 3D terrain visualization of GIS data from the first map produced until the online mapping era. The reviews are divided into four different sections: manual visualization of 3D terrain, automated visualization of 3D terrain, online visualization of 3D terrain, and software for visualizing 3D terrain. Then, the paper compares between the different types of systems developed by various authors based on the capabilities and the limitations of the system. Some of the techniques have their own strengths and limitations which solve the problem in 3D terrain visualization. However, the research on improving 3D terrain visualization is still ongoing. This is due to the popularity of online environments and mobile devices that render 3D terrain. This review paper will help interested users understand the current state of 3D terrain visualization of GIS data in a better way.

“…Digital museums can simulate a real museum in 3D through virtual reality technology. Web3d is a kind of virtual reality technology based on a 3D internet platform [4] that displays objects tangible in the real world on the internet and supports interaction between users and virtual objects [5]. Web3d originating from Virtual Reality Modeling Language ( VRML) in the internet can be traced back to the 1990s [6].…”

Abstract-Currently, in most university digital museums, there are problems with low immersion, and slow loading times as well as the impossibility of updating the 3D digital resources and extending their virtual exhibition space and changing style, leading to difficulty in management and being less effective in educational application. An editable university digital museum system was proposed and developed according to the learning theory and used in the Zhejiang University History Museum. In addition, the input and output efficiency of the system was compared with that of the university digital museum based on X3D. Finally, the editable university digital museum system was used in informal learning. The result indicated that the editable university digital museum system is superior to the traditional 3D digital museum in development speed as well as the immersive, management and learning effects.

E-commerce is regarded as the wonderful method to retailer to sell production. Then it is not enough to attract customer to simply provide picture and text of the merchandise. In this paper, both Cult3D and information management technologies are considered to show goods using 3D interactive model online. The file size of web3D model is small and the quality of image is high, which are benefit to internet access. Customer can get more information of the production with operational 3D model and feedback personal requirement.
