The reporting and communication of information has become a multi-skilled activity demanding compatibility with a diverse range of data and information formats such as formatted text, vector and raster GIS layers, tabular data and charts, HTML, bitmaps, documents, spreadsheets, video, photos and aerial imagery.
Standard GIS software can co-ordinate and display GIS layers (with associated tabular data) and some images, but much of the data formats can not be integrated effectively into existing software packages. visionMAKER™ was created to fill the gaps, utilising an intuitive interface. |
|
visionMAKER™ can help you integrate just about any data formats to create an effective knowledge interface (or knowledge base) containing live GIS data that can be linked to external data formats.
The real power of visionMAKER™ lies in its purposefully simplistic and intuitive user interface. The interface has been designed for non IT trained management and customer services staff. It is intrinsically easy to use (ie. intuitive) and allows personalised access to the underlying data. Regular data analyses can be tailored to individual user’s requirements and the data is instantly updated as soon as visionMAKER™ is turned on ie. visionMAKER™ reads all data files on an “as is”, live basis.
Personalised access to data, through an intuitive interface, empowers senior management with the ability to call up relevant data instantly during impromptu meetings and discussions or to assist decision making in an emergency.
visionMAKER™ is provided as a creator version for development and editing of shows or scripts, and as a viewer version for distribution with the data.

visionMAKER™ Interface
Hierarchical menu bar at left automatically expands and contracts as items are selected.
View window (right) shows GIS layers associated with current menu selection (the current view).
GIS
items are highlighted as the mouse pointer is passed over them.
Buttons on toolbar
enable panning, zooming, etc of the view window. |
|
Text & Charts
Links windows (at left on above image) shows a chart linked to the highlighted area.
Links window (on screen to right) shows formatted text associated with the highlighted GIS item.
View window can include any
GIS datasets such as airphotos, and vector and raster GIS layers (ESRI,
MapInfo, AutoCAD, MicroStation, Google Earth). |

The Power Of Linking
visionMAKER allows you to link any external files to entities (points, lines or polylines) in your GIS datasets.
Linking can be based on the entities themselves (ie files are linked to a specific entity) or GIS field values (files are linked to a specific value in a field, which may occur for many GIS entities). A combination of link types can also be used.
When the entity is clicked any linked file(s) are displayed in the links window, on separate tabs.
There is no limit to the number
of files you can link. |
|
Photos
Camera icons (or other symbols) can be located on a GIS layer to indicate the location of photographs.
Clicking on a camera highlights the orientation of the view, and the links window shows the photo.
Text associated with the photo is available through selecting the appropriate tab button on the links window. |

Linking to Existing Databases

Thematic Mapping
Thematic mapping of key database
information can provide valuable insights into important clients, trends |
|
|
|
The amount of information, and the style that it can be displayed
in, is limited only by the imagination of the user. |
visionMAKER is available in both standalone and network (LAN/WAN) licenses. A free viewer application is available for distribution with your visionMAKER projects to end users.
