3D visualisation of geography is easy;
how about 3D visualisation of information?

2011 What am I talking about?
“Cartographers have spent millennia fine tuning beautiful
and practical symbology for the 2D, vertical
representation of geographic and human features.
Recently, computer game programmers have given us
the 3D visualisation environment, into which the existing
symbology is often pushed. However, these symbols
often do not stand up (literally) to the visual rigors of this
new environment. Can one symbol set deliver a
practical and beautiful representation of its information
in both the 2D and 3D views? If not, how can the same
mapping data be viewed in these different environments
without duplicating the data? Using some of the most
modern visualisation tools to demonstrate different
symbol displays from utilities, defence and government
mapping applications.”
