ABSTRACT:
An interactive multimedia geographic system is disclosed which incorporates an animated three-dimensional solid model of a world globe and utilizes video, sound, graphics, images and numerical presentations for perspective display of detailed maps of the world or portions of the maps. The system is capable of generating desired regional, global, political, and other maps detailing information on various geographic related features, such as demographic, cartographic, topographic, and geomagnetic features of the world. The system is coordinated with a physical globe which highlights the region of interest, and maintains a sense of perspective and relations among geographical regions as the display of the world model changes to reveal further details.
