Our team integrated over 2TB of disparate data for the 3,400-acre study area (Topography, Bathymetry, Buildings (253), Assets, and Utilities). The data was processed and transformed into a unified coordinate system and datum from their original formats. Ground truthing of remotely collected data to surveyed locations aided in registering data to real-world locations. By leveraging open-source and commercially available tools and applications, we were able process the data into interoperable formats that were then integrated into a unified X3D solution. Due to the size and scale of the operation, tiling and multiple Levels of Detail were created to allow for visualization over the web and reduce end user computational demand.
The platform offered shareholders to collaborate in a space and visualize various scenarios and solutions through a highly interactive user interface which allowed them to modify the existing conditions as well as asset management and configurations. A temporal component enabled the end user to understand the impacts of planned activities and anticipated environmental influences. The data, (native and X3D) provided to the Academy upon delivery, was formatted and configured in a way that it was highly interoperable for their select use cases and needs, which was further illustrated through the 3D printing of the Academy for display on campus.
