After this year\u2019s User Conference Plenary, it\u2019s clear that 3D GIS is evolving quickly and changing expectations for engagement, decision support and operational planning.\u00a0 3D GIS adds value to your investment in 2D GIS by providing an immersive and intuitive experience with new potentials for visualization and content.\u00a0 Advances in 3D GIS offer an exciting opportunity to adopt and present a new way of thinking about the ArcGIS Platform, and it ultimately should complement how you\u2019re already planning, innovating and implementing meaningful 2D maps and apps.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

3D Operational View for Wildfire Fighting<\/h2>\n

Paul Doherty from the National Alliance for Public Safety GIS recently utilized the 3D Inset Map, (now a 3d app template<\/a>) to enhance situational awareness in the recent Ferguson Fire near Yosemite National Park.\u00a0 Paul uses the 2D maps to show the simple relationship between the wildfire perimeter and MODIS hotspots to structure and fuel. \u00a0\u201c3D maps help provide comprehension and a better understanding of how terrain may influence outcomes. In the case of a wildfire, seeing vegetation and topography in a 3D environment helps the map come to life.\u201d\u00a0 Steep terrain affects fire movement, and it\u2019s critical to understand that while placing resources or planning evacuations.\u00a0 The process was easy for Paul; \u201cI just added the layer to my web scene and then published a Web App.\u201d<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockquote","content":"

2D Operational services are immediately accessible in Scenes and 3D apps<\/em><\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s example helps illustrate a pattern where existing GIS data is leveraged inside a 3D scene for enhanced situational awareness.\u00a0 ArcGIS Online and Enterprise make it simple to maintain data authority and timeliness while rolling out new 3D information products that support the existing and emerging needs of their staff.<\/p>\n

The Authoring Approach<\/h2>\n

Working with 3D should incorporate your investment in traditional GIS data and organizational workflows without adding additional maintenance or confusion for you or your users.\u00a0 Organizations that use maps to support decision-making by reviewing and contextualizing operational 2D data can search for and add that operational 2D data directly in a 3D web scene.\u00a0 When properly configured and introduced into the organization, 3D adds immediate value to the end user.\u00a0 Since 3D Web Scenes are now accessible on mobile devices, it\u2019s a great time to explore delivering 3D scenes and apps.<\/p>\n
