have you got those slides you talked about still available?
im basing my paper on if 2.5d is liberating the dimensions?

regards

Many thanks in advance Hello Mok,
I’m Interested in seeing the slides, also want to ask where I can find the table where you compared between the 3D, 2.5D, and 2D with some parameters.

Many thanks in advance

We are actually in process of getting some non-static scenes in 2.5D. Stay tuned! Yes, agreed. 3D is necessary many applications.

But, it's already been done, if only now being implemented at a large scale by Google, Navteq, Nokia's Ovi. And, more critically, a lot of people at geospatial conferences refer to that as 3d, and build standards and information models around it when not understanding that true 3d is our yet unachieved goal. In other words, you are right in referring to hollow 3d extrusions and representations as 2.5d but a lot of other refer to it as 3d, and it isn't. What I was trying to say in the Twitter comment is that 2.5d is great for display of static bodies and the results of structural and thermal analysis (take a mesh, throw a fabulous, true-to-life texture on it, throw it in game engine). But, in order to allow for real AND location-aware representations of the earth, cities and structures, especially when it comes to architecture, engineering, construction, defense, etc. and the interaction of humans and nature with this infrastructure, the geoweb has to start talking the information modeling, storage, retrieval and simulations of such solid 3d. 2.5d is the immediate and obvious next step to 2d maps at any scale.
