Title: Victoria Natural Resource Management Knowledge Arcade Author: Yingxin Wu Date: 13/3/2007 Description: This video clip demonstrates some users activities in the Victoria Natural Resource Management Knowledge Arcade. The Victoria Knowledge Arcade is a simulated three dimensional environment programmed in Virtual Reality Mark-up Language (VRML1).	320x199 (5Mb)		480x298 (8Mb)
Title: Modelling below the surface Author: Don Cherry Date: 09/2006 Description: This video clip shows progressive switching on and off of a number of spatial information layers which have been modelled using the software package Gocad2.	320x240 (1.4Mb)		480x360 (2.6Mb)
Title: Example of GIS data display in Google Earth Creator: Dr. Jean-Philippe Aurambout Date: 21/00/2007 Description: Illustration of the potential usage of Google Earth3 to display imagery and GIS4 vector data exported from ArcGIS5. This video clip shows how Google Earth can be used to display aerial imagery, GIS line, polygon and point shapefile6 data.	320x240 (1.2Mb)		480x360 (1.7Mb)
Title: Usage of the Spatial Information Exploration & Visualisation Environment (SIEVE) Creator: Dr. Jean-Philippe Aurambout Date: 12/09/2006 Description: Illustration of data export from GIS to SIEVE7 through the Arc2SIEVE8 interface and demonstration of the SIEVE environment. This video clip shows the functioning of the Arc2SIEVE interface that allows users to export GIS vector (polygon shapefile) and imagery data into a "mission file", a format readable by SIEVE.	320x240 (1.5Mb)		480x360 (2.7Mb)
Title: Walk across a green paddock Creator: Dr. Jean-Philippe Aurambout Date: 29/09/2006 Description: Example video output of a three dimensional representation of a paddock created in Visual Nature Studio9 and illustrating a project of tree fencing a farm paddock	320x240 (1.0Mb)		480x360 (1.7Mb)
Title: Visualising Goulburn Broken Waterwatch Monitoring sites Author: Hayden Lewis Date: 24/09/2006 Description: This video clip previews the ability to use a three dimensional visualising tool such as Google Earth to Visualise and link the Goulburn Broken Waterwatch sites in a three dimensional Landscape with the GB Waterwatch website data.	320x240 (2.1Mb)		480x360 (3.6Mb)
Title: Example of GIS data display in Nasa World Wind Creator: Dr. Jean-Philippe Aurambout Date: 22/09/2006 Description: This video clip illustrates how Nasa World Wind can be used to display shapefile polygon, line, and point data in different altitudes and angles. It also illustrates how to modify the visual transparency of each layer.	320x240 (1.5Mb)		480x360 (2.1Mb)
Title: 3D Object Library Author: Yingxin Wu Date: 13/3/2007 Description: This video clip explores the functions and structure of the DPI three dimensionals (3D) Object Library. The video clip begins from the entry page of 3D Object Library. By clicking on a particular landscape object the user is able to enter the page of that category.	320x199 (3.4Mb)		480x298 (6.6Mb)

Technote:
1. VRML: Virtual Reality Modelling Language. It's an open, extensible, industry-standard scene description language for 3-D scenes, or worlds, on the Internet. With VRML and certain software tools, you can create and view distributed, interactive 3-D worlds that are rich with text, images, animation, sound, music and video.
2. Gocad: Gocad is a software solution for modelling geological objects in 3D. It developed mainly from the petroleum industry integrating geological, geophysical and engineering concepts in a computer aided drafting (CAD) platform. It has been developed by an international consortium and continues to be applied in a variety of situations including structural geology around Victoria's mineral fields by the GeoScience Victoria and in understanding groundwater aquifers by PIRVic.
3. Google earth: is a virtual globe program that was originally called Earth Viewer and was created by Keyhole, Inc. It maps the earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS over a 3D globe.
4. GIS: A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system for capturing, storing, analysing and managing data and associated attributes which are spatially referenced to the earth. It's a tool that allows users to create interactive queries (user created searches), analyse the spatial information, edit data, maps, and present the results of all these operations.
5. ArcGIS: is an integrated collection of GIS software products for building a complete GIS. ArcGIS enables users to deploy GIS functionality wherever it is needed in desktops, servers, or custom applications; over the Web; or in the field.
6. Shapefile: is a set of files that contain a set of points, arcs, or polygons (or features) that hold tabular data and a spatial location.
7. Spatial Information Exploration & Visualisation Environment (SIEVE): is a collaborative, virtual environment built using the Torque Games Engine (TGE) (www.garagegames.com (external link)). SIEVE has been developed by the CRC-SI in collaboration with DPI, DSE and Geosciences Australia.
8. Arc2SIEVE: is a function that exports GIS data into SIEVE scenario by using ArcGIS.
9. Visual Nature Studio: Visual Nature Studio is a tool that brings visualization to life. Import GIS or geospatial data and make all of the numbers and obscure information into a photorealistic image or animation.
