The 3D Blacksburg Collaborative
The X3D Blacksburg Collaborative will develop and curate an n-D city model of the Town of Blacksburg and its surrounds. This spatial data infrastructure will support several interactive information services including building models and terrain. Citizens, Scientists and Scholars can use these resources for many applications including planning and community and economic development. Check out this online video describing our mission and goals!
