Abstract

A Peer-to-peer(P2P) network engine for geographic VR data and GIS analysis on 3D Globe is proposed, which synthesizes several latest information technologies including web virtual reality(VR), 3D geographical information system(GIS), 3D visualization and P2P network. The engine is used to organize and present massive spatial data such as remote sensing data, meanwhile to share and online publish by P2P based on hash. The P2P network makes a mapping of the users in real geographic space and the user avatar in the virtual scene, as well as the nodes in the virtual network. It also supports the integrated VRGIS functions including 3D spatial analysis functions, 3D visualization for spatial process and serves as a web engine for 3D globe and digital city.
