What is VisioMove?

Visioglobe’s software development toolkit for mobile platforms is called VisioMove. You can use it to easily create or enhance an existing application with advanced 3D data. VisioMove integrates sample data, enabling you to discover how easy it is to create a compelling application and to differentiate your application from current market offerings. The main features of the SDK are:

Multi-platform, written in C++ (with Java bindings for Android).
Create and add a map view (2D or 3D) to your application.
High performance and scalability - can scale up to very large cities represented in 3D.
Can be used for both on-board data (typically 3D content which is large in size) and off-board data (other services, e.g. routing, social networking).
Interactive elements can be easily added to the 3D environment (for example clickable images, dynamic POIs).
2D indoor map content can easily be customized: the store names, icons and interaction can be fully controlled from the SDK.
Flexible routing functions: you can easily add the interface to any third party routing engine for outdoor routes as well as calculate indoor routes directly from the SDK.
Turn by Turn navigation instructions.
Advanced camera handling and manipulation – The camera position can be controlled, enabling it to be connected to existing routing solutions or even a compass.
Automatic collision detection of buildings and terrain.

VisioMove is extremely portable making it a great choice for mobile and web applications.

Technology

The Visioglobe technology is comprised of two parts.

Map pre-processing tools

Visioglobe makes the most of map pre-processing tools for refining large amounts of map data. By using advanced compression and pre-processing of 3D data the final map bundle can be stored on-board and/or off-board of mobile devices. Visioglobe’s flexible workflow can integrate data from many cartographic and geographic sources.

Real-time 3D engine (VisioMove)

Visioglobe provides an immersive 3D geographical, urban and indoor visualization engine. Combined with 3D data content, this enables a rich and intuitive 3D navigation experience. It is now possible to navigate in real-time with an excellent image quality and fluidity, while retaining the possibility to add virtual objects or other services such as routing, turn-by-turn navigation and location-based ads. Furthermore, you can visualize 2D indoor maps with sophisticated rendering to differentiate your application from the competition.

Benefits of using VisioMove

Quickly add 3D content and interactive elements to create rich applications
Customize 2D maps: place names, icons, and route display
Drastically reduce time-to-market for 3D applications
Developers can easily integrate routing and other services
Provides stunning image quality with more than 1M triangles / second
Offers excellent fluidity with more than 20 images / second
Makes the most of hardware accelerated graphics on mobile devices

Supported platforms

VisioMove is written in C++ and inside, the engine uses OpenGL® (ES) for the rendering. These well supported standards enable compatibility across a proven broad range of platforms, including:

iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPod)
Android
and theoretically most others

This release provides support and example code for iOS and Android platforms. Other platforms will be supported in the near future based on demand. So please don't hesitate to contact us to push the case of your preferred platform!

System requirements

To integrate VisioMove into your application you will need the following software versions installed on system you intend to develop your application:

iOS

iOS SDK 5.1 or later and XCode 5. See http://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action for how to install this if you don't already have it.
Compilation for both arm 7 and arm 7s processors is supported.

Note : arm 6 support is no longer supported since VisioMove v2.0.7749.

Android

Android SDK Platform 2.3 (API 9) or later.
Devices with GPUs PowerVR SGX 530, Snapdragon, Mali200, or better.

Note : on devices that do not support PVRTC texture compression, loading time may be longer due to software decompression. Please contact us for ETC versions.

Sample Data

LEGAL ISSUES

In plain English:

We don't promise that this software works. (But if you find any bugs, please let us know!)

You can use this software for whatever you want. You don't have to pay us.

You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that you've used the IJG code.

In legalese:

The authors make NO WARRANTY or representation, either express or implied, with respect to this software, its quality, accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. This software is provided "AS IS", and you, its user, assume the entire risk as to its quality and accuracy.

Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software (or portions thereof) for any purpose, without fee, subject to these conditions:

If any part of the source code for this software is distributed, then this README file must be included, with this copyright and no-warranty notice unaltered; and any additions, deletions, or changes to the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation.
If only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying documentation must state that "this software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group".
Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts full responsibility for any undesirable consequences; the authors accept NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind.

These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code, not just to the unmodified library. If you use our work, you ought to acknowledge us.

Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or company name in advertising or publicity relating to this software or products derived from it. This software may be referred to only as "the Independent JPEG Group's software".

We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as the basis of commercial products, provided that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the product vendor.

ansi2knr.c is included in this distribution by permission of L. Peter Deutsch, sole proprietor of its copyright holder, Aladdin Enterprises of Menlo Park, CA. ansi2knr.c is NOT covered by the above copyright and conditions, but instead by the usual distribution terms of the Free Software Foundation; principally, that you must include source code if you redistribute it. (See the file ansi2knr.c for full details.) However, since ansi2knr.c is not needed as part of any program generated from the IJG code, this does not limit you more than the foregoing paragraphs do.

The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable. The same holds for its supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub, ltmain.sh). Another support script, install-sh, is copyright by X Consortium but is also freely distributable.

The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent, GIF reading support has been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs". This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard GIF decoders.

We are required to state that
