HOLOGRAPHIC VISUALIZATION IN GEOGRAPHY
Abstract
Holography means 1) a technique of obtaining a three-dimensional image of the object, and 2) a «best possible» visualization technique in the far future. The greatest expectations are related to holography as an imaging technique. The idea of holography seems to be self-evident – a reasonable criterion of holographic visualization is an interactive seamless multi-angle representation of the scene. However the multi-angle regime is already implemented in 3D-visualization systems. And the Google Earth geoservice (started in 2005) supplements the multi-angle representation with the multi-scale one, which could not be implemented using the traditional analogous holograms. Thus the Google Earth geoservice concept is a specific regime of visualization having very high potential of self-development. The paper compares the properties of classic and «super» holograms. Factors contributing to the evolution of scientific visualization in cartography are analyzed. The prospects of the interdisciplinary research in this area, including the application of semiotic tools, are discussed.
