Abstract

In this paper, we try to emphasize on the importance of new display systems by reviewing educational and research limitations and deficiencies of traditional methods of displaying land features. The three-dimensional representation of the GIS and its practical aspects forms the next section.
The main part of the paper is related to three-dimensional simulated digital-graphic models of land features. In the same vein, cartographic and computer techniques in creating three-dimensional images are of interest. In the last section, we make conclusions and suggestions after a brief review of the applications of visual simulated models in geology and geomorphology.
