[OSGeo-Discuss] Augmented Reality working group?

[Markus Müller]

Tyler and others,

a 3D working group would surely be a good thing.

Just some remarks on OGC Web Services and 3D: the approach with the 
highest probability of becoming an OGC standard is Web Terrain Service, 
it produces pictures from 3D-Data like terain, buidlings, ... Very 
important in this regard too is CityGML, a GML application schema for 
objects found in cities.

We implemented both of these standards in deegree and made some good 
experiences with them.


regards

Markus
