Virtual Reality Links

Welcome to my virtual reality links page.  Below is a list of links to some of the virtual reality worlds, or VRML's, that I've created in our Advanced GIS 5790 class here at UW.  These VRML's are of the Jackson area, located in the northwestern portion of Wyoming just south of the Yellowstone National Park.  In order to view them, a VMRL viewer will need to be loaded on your web browser.  If you don't already have one, take a few minutes to download and install the Cortona VRML client 2.0 at http://www.parallelgraphics.com/htm/en/prod/index.html?cort/cort.html.  The download time on these images may take several minutes depending on the speed of your internet connection, so please be patient.

DLG over Jackson Quadrangle

 

Click the image to view the jackdlg.wrl.  This VRML world was created from the Jackson WY 7.5 minute DEM draped and with a DLG hydrography using DEM2VRML.exe with a vertical exaggeration of 2. The DLG drape image was derived using ArcView to add elevation tints and a hydrography coverage. The  view in the thumbnail is from the southeast looking northwest. An elevation grid size of 115 rows by 84 columns was achieved using a skip factor of 2. The size of the world is 149 KB and may take 5-10 minutes to download depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Full Ortho over NW Jackson Quadrangle

 

Click the image to the left to view the entirequad.wrl.  This VRML world was created from the northwest quarter of the Jackson DEM using DEM2VRML.exe.  The grid is draped with a re-sampled full DOQQ Jacksonnw.jpg. An elevation grid size of 114 rows by 79 columns was achieved using a skip factor of 3. The size of the world is 301 KB and may take 5 -15 minutes to download depending on the speed of your internet connection.  The  view in the thumbnail is from northwest, looking southeast, over Jackson Hole across the Snake River with a vertical exaggeration of 2.  The West Gross Ventre Butte (elevation 6767') and Boyles Hill (elevation 6623") can be seen in the northeast portion of the VRML world.

 

City of Jackson

 

Click the image to the left to view Jackson.wrl. This is a VRML world of the city of Jackson located in the Northwestern section of the state of Wyoming.  The VRML world was created from the northeastern portion of the Jackson, WY 7.5 minute DEM using DEM2VRML.exe.  The grid is draped with a full resolution DOQQ, Jacksonne.jpg with a vertical exaggeration of 2. An elevation grid size of 109 rows by 86 columns was achieved and using a skip factor of 1. The  view in the thumbnail is from northeast, looking southwest.

The Grand Teton

Click the image to the left to view the gtdrg2.wrl. This is VRML world of a portion of the Grand Teton Mountain Range in NE Wyoming, just NW of Jackson. A portion of the Jackson Lake DRG quadrangle was draped over the Grand Teton WY DEM using DEM2VRML.exe with a vertical exaggeration of 1.  An elevation grid size of 97 rows by 147 columns was achieved using a skip factor of 5. The size of the world is 244 KB and may take 5-10 minutes to download depending on the speed of your internet connection. This thumbnail looks slightly northwest at Grand Teton (elevation 4197 meters) and Mount Owen (elevation 3940 meters) in the background.
