Abstract
A new corporation based in Alexandria, Va., has developed a mapping system that could be useful to organizations requiring rapid access to a large stock of pictures, maps, and graphics displays.Geoview, Inc., utilizes optical videodiscs and microcomputer systems to make movie maps, which are designed to provide a compact means of storing large amounts of information in the form of maps, photographs, text, drawings, and blueprints and to provide quick access to the material. What is stored is multiple levels of detail of the information. Depending upon the extent of information required, the user is able to control the route of travel, viewpoint, degree of magnification, rate of speed, and access to related data, and have it all projected on a television screen. Each optical videodisc, resembling a phonograph record, can contain about 54,000 separate frames of information.
