Three-dimensional geospatial visualization

Abstract

Using various embodiments, methods, and systems for implementing three-dimensional geospatial visualization techniques are disclosed. In one embodiment, a unified indoor/outdoor three-dimensional visualization of interior and exterior settings can be provided using a publically accessible geospatial website. The geospatial website can provide global positioning system coordinated point cloud data of actual exterior settings along with fantasized or actual interior settings to a client machine along with information of events occurring at the location in real time.
