VR WebGIS: an OpenSource approach to 3D real-time landscape management
OpenSource philosophy has reached to
unexpected goals. The diffusion of
OpenSource tools is increased quite a
lot, but also the quality of the tools is improving.
Their usability is slowing going
even towards communities not exactly
skilled in advanced programming. Open
movement is penetrated in many sectors,
often subverting, thank to its social impact,
the traditional rules of companies
and research institutions, pulling down
sometimes hierarchies and pushing on
innovative ideas because of their validity
and values. [...]Peer Reviewe

Analysis of Visualisation and Interaction Tools Authors
This document provides an in-depth analysis of visualization and interaction tools employed in the context of Virtual Museum. This analysis is required to identify and design the tools and the different components that will be part of the Common Implementation Framework (CIF). The CIF will be the base of the web-based services and tools to support the development of Virtual Museums with particular attention to online Virtual Museum.The main goal is to provide to the stakeholders and developers an useful platform to support and help them in the development of their projects, despite the nature of the project itself. The design of the Common Implementation Framework (CIF) is based on an analysis of the typical workflow ofthe V-MUST partners and their perceived limitations of current technologies. This document is based also on the results of the V-MUST technical questionnaire (presented in the Deliverable 4.1). Based on these two source of information, we have selected some important tools (mainly visualization tools) and services and we elaborate some first guidelines and ideas for the design and development of the CIF, that shall provide a technological foundation for the V-MUST Platform, together with the V-MUST repository/repositories and the additional services defined in the WP4. Two state of the art reports, one about user interface design and another one about visualization technologies have been also provided in this document
