Cartography

draft topic outline

3D views provide an additional dimension for conveying spatial information, adding height and elevation as well as exciting visualization capabilities within a rich interactive display. The latest ArcGIS JS 4.x series API and applications built on it provide this rich 3D view within the browser, opening up the use of 3D to a greater audience. Designing good content for 3D is as important to the success of any view as it ever was for a traditional 2D map. A view and its content should be clear, easily interpreted and not unwittingly mislead or confuse. The established principles of cartography need to be adapted to get the best of this different perspective on the world.
