Interactive 3D Cartography

Dear Colleagues,

Cartography comprises the visualisation of geographical objects and spatially distributed phenomena by means of abstraction, generalization and representative symbols. With the advancement of 3D computer graphics, human–computer interaction (HCI) methods, and new devices, the possibilities of creating new types of map representations and interaction types have dramatically increased. In this Special Issue, we would like to invite you to submit contributions towards novel 3D visualisations, methodologies, and technologies for interactive cartographic applications. Topics may range from cartographic 3D geo-data models, abstracted 3D representation and symbolization of topographic and thematic geo-data, analysis and visual exploration of the geo-data space on different devices and media, innovative interaction modalities, up to applications in various scientific domains. The Special Issue should identify ways to present, analyse, and explore interactions for new three-dimensional immersive geo-data spaces.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Multimodal Technologies and Interaction is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
