Abstract:
Embodiments relate to editing a tour in a geographic information system. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method efficiently edits a tour through a three-dimensional environment on a geographic information system. In the method, a user is enabled to define a tour comprising a series of segments. Each segment specifies a duration of the segment in the tour, a position of a virtual camera in the three-dimensional environment during playback of the segment of the tour, and an asset to be visible at a specified position in the three-dimensional environment at a time relative to when the segment of the tour is played. A user is also enabled to alter an order of the series of segments. In response to an input to play the tour, for each segment of the tour in an order specified by the series of segments, the virtual camera is moved to the position specified by the segment to display the three-dimensional environment from a viewpoint of the virtual camera. The asset is displayed in the three-dimensional environment.
