Toward Enterprise Visual Scenes

Enterprise Visual Scenes (EVS) can provide users with modeling approaches, user environments, and solutions for knowledge creation, sharing, rendering, engineering and work management and for meeting most of the industrial challenges discussed in Chap. 2.

We will now look around the next bends to uncover the potential for further developments in how we envision modeling, using, and developing enterprise knowledge as visual scenes, exploring 3D and 4D model rendering, and visual navigation and interaction.

We will first recap some of the main principles of our thinking. We will next present some existing applications exploring 3D and 4D rendering and finally present visions for where and how to develop and apply improved modeling, navigation, visualization, and analyses techniques. We will end the chapter looking at extending the way of visualizing knowledge even further to three-dimensional immersive environments.
