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.
