Virtual Environments (VE) are characterised as a computer-based generation of scenes a abstract or realistic environments. which can be perceived consistently. The use of VE is very promising in several areas especially when visualisation of complex data in a realistic and clearly understandable way is needed. For military applications VE technology has potential in the area of research and development training mission support and mission rehearsal. A further application is use in Command & Control (C2)- systems due to upcoming demands in this area. In future battlespace scenarios huge amounts of highly dynamic information will be available due to the technical development of sensor. communication and information systems. Therefore advanced techniques for supporting the military commander and displaying complex tactical situation data in a clearly understandable way have to be developed and evaluated. In this connection a concept for pre-processing and visualising incoming tactical data and three-dimensional geographical data has been developed. This "Electronic Sandtable (ELSA)". as described in this paper, uses technology. The ELSA facilitates a plastic stereoscopic visualisation of three-dimensional data. It has been designed to simulate a sandtable as commonly used by the Armed Forces for tactical education and training. Therefore the visualisation of digital geographic data (elevation (DTED) and feature (DFAD) data) is necessary.

Geographic information system (GIS) has expanded its area of applications and services into various fields, from geo-positioning service to three dimensional demonstration and virtual reality. Big data analysis and its visualization tools boosters the capacity of GIS, especially in graphics and visual demonstration. In this chapter, I describe major traits of big data and its spatial analysis with visualization. And then I will find a linkage between big data and GIS. There are several GIS-based software and geo-web that deal with big data or similar scaled databases, such as ArcGIS, Google Earth, Google Map, Tableau, and InstantAtlas. For these software and websites are developed based on geography or location, they still have some limits in visualizing big data or persuading people with maps or graphics. I will search a way out of this limitation of GIS-based tools and show an alternative way to visualize big data and demonstrate thematic maps. This chapter will be a useful guide to lead GIS people into a new horizon of big data visualization.

Access, distribution and processing of Geographic Information (GI) are basic preconditions to support strategic environmental decision-making. The heterogeneity of information on the environment today available is driving a wide number of initiatives, on both sides of the Atlantic, all advocating both the strategic role of proper management and processing of environme- related data as well as the importance of harmonized IT infrastructures designed to better monitor and manage the environment. The extremely wide range of often multidimensional environmental information made available at the global scale poses a great challenge to technologists and scientists to find extremely sophisticated yet effective ways to provide access to relevant data patterns within such a vast and highly dynamic information flow. In the past years the domain of 3D scientific visualization has developed several solutions designed for operators requiring to access results of a simulation through the use of 3D visualization that could support the understanding of an evolving phenomenon. However 3D data visualization alone does not provide model and hypothesis-making neither it provide tools to validate results. In order overcome this shortcoming, in recent years scientists have developed a discipline that combines the benefits of data mining and information visualization, which is often referred to as Visual Analytics (VA).
