Generating 3D data, simulations, and geovisual interfaces for 21st century risk assessment and communication in multilevel space
This research explores the analytical and communicative capacity of emergency management using modern methods of visualization. The developed visual interfaces combine geographic information science and systems with 3D modelling, 3D game engines, artificial intelligence (AI), mixed reality (MR), and geovisualization.
THE PROJECT
Modern methods of spatial data capture, analysis, and representation signify new opportunities for emergency managers to reduce the risk of, and increase the resilience to, natural and man-made hazards. This research explored the development of a progressive emergency management strategy in a complex institutional space, combining the spatial veracity of GIScience with an innovative approach for simulating and communicating emergency egress.
