Mobile 3D City Maps

In this paper, the author discusses a living mobile 3D city. It was created by lightweight modeling and 3D optimizations, and implemented an efficient, scalable dynamic entity management solution. A mobile 3D navigation interface was designed and verified the system by field experiments. Based on the results, implications for future research are also discussed.
