One major aim of exploring virtual geo-environments is to reveal information which is hidden in large sets of high-dimensional data. Since only three dimensions in space - plus one dimension in time - can be used in D visualization it is difficult to visualize a large number of attributes associated with geo-objects without burdening the user's cog...

... scene lenses described in this paper can be either positioned by using the keyboard or by using multimodal 3D widgets, which are analogous to the Toolglass TM widgets presented by Bier et al. (Bier et al. (1993)) used to position 2D magic lenses. Figure 1 shows a quadric shaped lens which can be manipulated by using the shown 3D widget. The shown widget has several handles hav- ing different colors, which can be used to perform a certain inter- action. ...

... Moreover the acquisition of spatial data of subsurface and the surface is more complex system. On other side, high-dimensional datasets pose a challenge for interactive visualization, because special visualization techniques are required to support the user during exploration tasks (Hinrichs et al 2005). In particular, multidimensional i.e 3D visualization can explore the knowledge about subsurface and subsurface complex component. ...

The 3D visualization of sub-surfaces with surfaces can give an understandable spatial relationship among the sub-surfaces and the surfaces. By this study, sub-surfaces i.e. dolerite dykes have been combined with topographic surface through 3D visualization. In this complex combining system, the dolerite dykes have been derived through magnetic modeling system and explore the location and orientation of dolerite dyke with topographic surface. Geographic information Science (GIScience) has been used to process the information.
