3D@Esri
Esri users are adopting 3D
• Users are
- Collecting and processing new types of data
- Visualizing new projects and underground information
- Analyzing behavior and aesthetics of natural phenomena and new development
- Communicating to stakeholders
3D as a core GIS capability
anywhere in any environment
• Combine 2D and 3D in the same web GIS architecture
• Reuse dynamic services across clients
• Securely collect, manage, curate 3D data
• Conduct analysis across real-time and historical data
• Create tailored experiences for different types of users

3D is Cross-Platform
What is Cross-Platform?
Cross-platform means
- Striving for consistent capability
- Supporting legacy capability
- Enabling new workflows
- Supporting existing workflows
- Working toward consistent standards
- Adopting or proposing standards as
necessary

Cross-platform does not mean
- Works everywhere immediately
- Works the same for everyone
- Localized everywhere
- Adopt every standard
- Works for every domain
automatically

Web Scenes, Scene Layers
• Web Scene
- Vehicle for cross-platform 3D capability
- Collection of layers, environment settings, slides, animation
- Essential for 3D apps on any platform or experience
• Scene Layer
- Scalable cache of graphics, styles, and attributes
- Today: 3D Objects, 3D Points, Integrated Meshes
- Future: Point clouds (2016), LOD4/BIM (2017), 3D Lines, 3D Polygons
• Reuse, Share, Extend
3D is Open
Building an open platform with 3D
• Open 3D Scene Specification (I3S)
• LERC
• KML
• WMS/WMTS
LERC
• Limited-Error Raster Compression
- Openly shared algorithms
- Used for large tiled raster imagery and elevation data
- Works for services and tile packages (TPK)
- Used in Esri elevation services
- Ex: World elevation, Topobathy
I3S
• Indexed 3D Scene specification
- Open specification for 3D layers
- Shared under Creative Commons licensing
- Describes a scalable scene cache with attributes and indexing
- Multiple levels of detail
- Can be streamed over the internet
- Can be used locally on disk as a package
- Opportunity for future profiles to accommodate new data types
- Open for feedback and modification
3rd party adoption of I3S
• Integrated mesh
- VRICON, Pix4D, and Bentley sharing
packages or services in I3S format
- Supports Drone2Map
• Additional partners coming soon
• Expanding list of layer types and layer
capability
KML
• Native support for KML visualization and interaction
- ArcGIS Earth
- ArcGIS Pro
- ArcGIS Explorer Desktop
- Runtime SDKs
- JavaScript API support is partial (2D)
• Support for network links, overlays, tours,
COLLADA
• Will be improving editing capability in the future
3D is Accessible
Focus on Ease of Use
• High difficulty is a barrier to innovation
• Ease of use must appear
- In professional desktop tools
- In configuration and customization tools
- In tools for non-GIS expert stakeholders
- Through interoperable data and standards
- In cloud and on premises support for hosting content
Desktop: Animation
Desktop: 1-click Sharing to Portal
ArcGIS Online: Hosted 3D
Simplifying workflows: Drone2Map
Configuration: Web AppBuilder
Easy-to-use: ArcGIS Earth
Interoperable services: Drone2Map data in Earth
New cross-platform capabilities: Point Clouds in I3S (future)
