K2Vi can be especially useful for Urban/Rural Design and Planning, Industrial Design, Tourism and Military Mission Planning. The user is actually present in the 3D scene and can interact with the GIS and 3D CAD data in real time.

To date we have developed various specialized versions of K2Vi which are tailored to specific markets - these have included.

  • K2Vi - Urban/Rural Planning. (K2Vi Professional and K2Vi Lite)
  • K2Vi - Tourism (K2Vi Kiosk, K2Vi Terrain Viewer)
  • K2Vi - Military. (K2Vi Military viewer)

3D Services
We also provide 3D services. We create the 3D model and you get the 3D model plus a number of K2Vi lite viewers (see below) which you can use to show the 3D model to the public or other interested parties. For information on project work that we have carried out, and are still working on please check out our SERVICES section.

Software
We have been working on K2Vi for 6 years now, and this has led to an extensive suite of functions for visualization, manipulation, analysis and animation of GIS and 3D CAD data.

A range of products have been developed including:

> K2Vi Professional
K2Vi is a virtual reality interface on Spatial Data (GIS, 3DCAD and texture data) that supports visualisation, manipulation and editing of standard GIS data in a VR environment.

K2Vi is an application for modeling, manipulation and analysis of two and three dimensional spatial (GIS) data within a Virtual Reality environment. To adequately support visualisation and interaction with 2D and 3D spatial data, Virtual Reality (VR) techniques are used. K2Vi supports stereoscopic viewing, 3D interaction devices and provides a 3D user interface for easy modeling and manipulation. The application runs on PC, but also on high-tech VR systems like a Virtual Workbench or CAVE.

As one of its main features, K2Vi can link spatial data, such as a 2D map or a TIN surface, to 3D models created in, for example, 3D Studio MAX. By combining these two information sources, you can realistically model and analyze future changes in the landscape.

K2Vi Kiosk
Data Interface Technologies Ltd. developed an interactive Virtual Reality model of the Southern Lakes area in New Zealand based on the K2Vi virtual reality engine. It allows the user to fly around the area in a helicopter using a joystick. The user can find Tourism Operators such hotels, ski fields, jet boat companies using an intuitive menu or 'discover' the location of the operator by exploring the 3D world. Clicking on the 3D operator cube will activate a so-called 'hot link' to an information page or website of the selected operator.

K2Vi Lite
K2Vi lite is designed to distribute the VR worlds you created with K2Vi to possible clients, colleagues, employees in the field and so on. It allows you to show the VR worlds you created in K2Vi on other PCs than the one K2Vi Professional is running on. Users can just view and navigate through the VR world. You control content. Navigation can be done by predefined flight path or free flight.

K2Vi lite comes free with K2Vi Professional and as part of our 3D services.

> K2Vi 3D Terrain Viewer
In partnership with GeographX, we have developed 3D NEW ZEALAND.
3D NEW ZEALAND (3D-NZ) is a combination of GeographX data with a customised K2Vi 3D Terrain Viewer. This product is primarily pitched at the travel and tourism sector where it can be used to familiarise visitors with the surrounding region or a particular geographic area of interest. The K2Vi 3D Terrain Viewer is user-friendly without the full functionality of K2Vi Professional and is priced accordingly.
3D-NZ is ideally suited for use in visitor centres, airports, information centres and booking offices for inter-active hands-on use.
