GeoCity is a new way to visualize geospatial data and information
with a presentation and information platform in a use friendly
way. This futuristic, interactive and customizable solution is available as mobile application or as multi-user installation.
GeoCity is based on a Geographic Information System (GIS) of a
chosen area (country, region, city), that works with aerial photographs and maps as well as a number of different sets of data
which are melted together into a graphic user interface. The data
sets are statistical and demographical data, real time data (multimedia data from webcams, meteorological data, traffic data,
The GeoCity concept is usable as unique sensual experience in
many fields of applications:
- tourism
- education
- construction projects
- presentation of service areas
- trade fairs
- guidance systems (e.g. fairs, major events)

public transportation data and so on), simulation data (time based
statistical extrapolations) and computed data.
GeoCity has been conceived as a walk-through database that
utilizes new means of communication to get across complex,
interrelated information in an intuitive way. Whether it’s a book or
a city map—everything morphs into an interactive surface. Analog
and digital elements react to each other—pencil and paper unite
with computer and projection.
Benefits:
- simple and intuitive visualization of complex, interrelated
information
- simple and intuitive handling
- quick gain of knowledge
- open-ended
- different product models
