Next gen GIS users will bring UI expectations from the OGL, DirectX, WPF, X3D, XNA world. It seems the biggest UI transform is just navigating a camera (avatar) in 3D rather than 2.5D. GIS UIs currently follow the usual 2.5D OS interactions with primarily Mouse event handling. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on 3D analogies to current 2.5D interaction. http://www.cadmaps.com/gisblog/?p=67 Interesting to think that GIS UI’s are in for some major changes.
