Leica Introduces IMAGINE Virtual Delivery

Leica Geosystems GIS & Mapping, LLC (GA, USA) has announced the availability of IMAGINE Virtual Delivery. This new add-on product extends the capabilities of IMAGINE VirtualGIS across the Web, expanding the reach of the desktop 3D scene generation and viewing tool by converting IMAGINE VirtualGIS scenes and accompanying data into a Web-optimised format.

This latest addition to IMAGINE VirtualGIS is a natural extension to the application for processing accurate GIS imagery. IMAGINE Virtual Delivery brings the powerful 3D visualisation and analysis capabilities to users worldwide without the need to purchase expensive desktop software. Browser-based clients can view published 3D scenes in a fully customisable browser interface, without acquiring additional software.

IMAGINE Virtual Delivery is available in three tiers – Personal, Departmental, and Enterprise – designed to meet the needs of any organisation. Capabilities include:

• real-time, interactive Web browsing of geographical relationships and large-scale 3D visualisation
  
• GIS layer support to enable the creation of scenes using Digital Elevation Models, draped rasters and vectors, annotation layers and other elements
  
• tools which facilitate the exploration and analysis of geospatial data such as navigation with mouse or keyboard, overview map detailing camera position and orientation, distance measurements along 3D surface, custom animations, and automatically predefined 'fly to' points.
