Cartography and Geomedia

Dear Colleagues,

Cartography and Geomedia is a view of cartography as a combination of technology, science and art with a focus on the development of geomedia in the geomatic and artistic dimensions.

If geography describes geographic space, and cartography illustrates this space, one can indicate the media that both disciplines use to transfer knowledge: text, photography, graphics, animation, video, sound, music, virtual environment, computer games, and others. Geomedia are therefore means of transmitting information about geographical space that the creator uses separately or jointly.

In this Special Issue, we will focus on the use of individual media as information carriers in the context of the role of a map or cartographic shape as the core of a geomedia product.

We will be honoured by your participation in our deliberations.

Contributions can address the following topics:

• Cartographic shape as the core of geomedia presentation;
• Information potential of geomedia;
• Efficiency and attractiveness of different media for the visualisation of spatial features;
• Rules of map design for use with geomedia;
• Geomedia for cartography: film, animation, music, graphics, photos, audio, virtual and augmented reality, geovisual storytelling, video games, 3D models, interactive web-maps, panoramic photography, and others;
• Tools for designing specific cartographic geomedia products;
• Cartographic materials for construction and reconstruction in virtual space;
• 3D visualisation of landscapes and urban scenes using virtual reality;
• Levels of immersion in geographic space through geomedia.
