With the increasing availability of head-mounted displays for virtual reality and augmented
reality, we can create immersive maps in which the user is closer to the data. Embodiment is …

High-resolution 3D data sets, such as digital outcrop models (DOMs), are increasingly being
used by geoscientists to supplement field observations and enable multiscale and …

While research has demonstrated that brownfield sites and vacant lots in inner-city areas
have a cooling effect on the micro climate, less is known about how this effect changes …

Virtual environments are computer-based digital spaces that we can observe, participate in,
