All Points Blog links to a article on a lab focusing on Virtual Reality Geographic Information Systems at West Virginia Univerty (some screenshots). From the article: "The technology is extremely versatile and connected to far more than desktop computers. It allows users to share location-based information and to communicate freely between smart phones, laptops, desktop PCs, PDAs, tablets and browsers. [...] The FLEX creates the illusion of a three-dimensional world where people can navigate through cyberspace landscapes with a remote control while easily getting, creating and working with information."
