Leveraging 3D

Across the ArcGIS Platform

Chris Andrews

Product Manager

3D and ArcGIS Earth

3D@Esri

Customers are adopting 3D

• Esri 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

Esri is the leader in

Enterprise Geospatial 3D

• Combine 2D and 3D in the WebGIS architecture

• Use Web Scenes as building blocks for 3D apps

• New 3D layers (data types)

• Powered by services, accessible across clients

• Create higher value visualizations, analyses, and information

products using data and geoprocessing with 2D and 3D

Desktop Web Device

Server Online Content

and Services

Delivering higher value through

3D throughout the enterprise

• 3D enables faster communication to stakeholders

- ArcGIS Earth

- Web AppBuilder

- Storymaps

- Web Scenes

- Animation tools

Building an open platform with 3D

• Open 3D Scene Specification (I3S)

• KML

• WMS/WMTS

• Open Data

Innovating new patterns to

share and use 3D

• True cross-platform 3D

• Point cloud streaming

• 3D Smart Mapping

• New user experience

• Hosting 3D GIS

• BIM-GIS workflows

• VR/AR

• Drone data processing

Web Scenes, Scene Layers, I3S

• Web Scene

- 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

• I3S

- Open specification for scene layers

- Opportunity for future profiles to accommodate new data types

- Being adopted by partners

3rd party adoption of I3S

• Integrated mesh

- VRICON, Bentley, and Pix4D sharing packages

of data in I3S format

- Improves Military/Intel/AEC story

- Supports Drone2Map

• Additional partners and layer types

- Being considered by Safe Software and

Cyclomedia

Customer-centric workflows

Three recurring stories

• Large enterprises: Exploring data securely on premises

• Small enterprises: Sharing 3D using ArcGIS Online

• Hybrid scenario: 3D with large data packages in connected

and disconnected workflows

Large enterprises:

Exploring data using 3D on premises

• Law enforcement, federal agencies & large companies

need to explore information across large areas using 3D

GIS behind a firewall

• Workflow

- One-button workflow to share layers and scenes from

ArcGIS Pro to ArcGIS Enterprise

- Use KML from existing services and files to share and

consume information

- Use Earth as a common tool across an organization to access services and files

Small enterprises:

Sharing 3D with Online

• City planners, urban designers, and small AEC firms

want to create and share plans and status with

constituents in 3D

• Workflow

- Package and Share workflow to host 3D in ArcGIS Online

- Use terrain and imagery, 3D objects, and more layers

- Create bookmarks and set up styles and popups

- Reuse web scene in Story Maps, Web AppBuilder, and

custom JavaScript apps

- Create and share scenarios with CityEngine using ArcGIS

Online

Hybrid workflow:

3D connected and disconnected

• Emergency managers, military, and utilities agencies

need to use 3D within the organization for planning and

to share with collaborators in the field to inform

response and action

• Workflow

- Use ArcGIS Pro to share layers and scenes to ArcGIS

Enterprise and ArcGIS Online

- Create easy to use web experiences for stakeholders

- Access large packages of data for use on the web or

disconnected

- Configure and use Earth offline with packages of data

Example: NIFC Fire Globe

• US Forest Service replaced a hybrid Google Earth & Esri

solution

• Replaced the Google Earth API with ArcGIS JavaScript API- New client has both 2D and 3D experience – greater functionality

- Minimal cost of integration

• Leveraged existing ArcGIS services - Mixture of public and secure services

• Successful transition for National Interagency Fire Center

(NIFC)- ~2000 users migrated with no training

NIFC Fire Globe with

Esri JavaScript API (new)

Recap: 3D highlights for 2016 UC• Web GIS

- One button sharing from Pro to Portal for ArcGIS Server

- Online hosting of 3D content including elevation and 3D objects

- New layers: 3D Points with custom symbols and Integrated Mesh

- JavaScript 4.0 API with 2D and 3D released in Production

- Web AppBuilder 3D in beta

• Pro

- Animation workflow

- KML

- New rules, editing, and GP improvements

• CityEngine improvements for usability and platform

integration

• Earth

• Drone2Map

Looking forward (Planned)

• 2nd half of 2016

- Point cloud streaming

- WGS84 across the platform

- Mobile 3D: iOS, Android, XAMARIN, and Runtime Quartz production releases

- More vendors adopting I3S

- Vector tiles

• Beyond 2016

- BIM workflows – LOD4 buildings and road meshes

- AR/VR research

- New vertical experiences/Solutions (3D Cities, Facilities)

- Earth on Mobile
