Video Game GIS

There has long been a recognition of the linkages between video games and GIS (insert old reference). For those interested, Esri is hosting a free zoom session on Tuesday that peeks into that crossover:

Topic:  Bridging the World of 3D GIS and Game Engines: Unity and Unreal Engine  Date: Tuesday, April 11, 2023

Time: 10:00 am PDT | 1:00 pm EDT

Where: https://esri.zoom.us/j/778857623 [esri.zoom.us]   

Description: In recent years, many industries and organizations have pursued next generation 3D GIS solutions by leveraging game engines for high-end graphics capabilities and extended reality (XR) experiences. Join us to discuss game engines in GIS, focusing on integration of ArcGIS technology with the two market-leading game engines, Unity and Epic’s Unreal Engine.

Presenter:  Rex Hansen, Principal Product Manager, ArcGIS Runtime and Maps SDKs, Esri

 

The presenter also wrote an ArcUser article in 2021 that gives a hint of how this might look.
