Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that it does make a lot of sense to try
this out. The Oulu data set might be the perfect example for this.
Otherwise we would also have data sets and real world apps and our SW
platfrom from FI-Content that we could use (Stefan Lemme has all the
details there). He is also the main POI author (but currently really
busy finishing our many M6 deliverables in FI-C2 :-( ).

Maybe a good starting point would be to convert the individual houses
into separate XML3D files (e.g. stored in the XML3D-REPO from
Kristian/UCL) and create a set of POIs that link them to their GIS
location (maybe individual houses is to fine grained, so we might also
use an entire block or so). The POI then could also refer to different
LODs that we could choose from.

Then we could try to place these houses on a properly aligned OSM map
for verifying the approach. Later we may still use a 3D terrain data set
and deal with advanced issues such as intersection lines for the
building and such.


Best,

	Philipp
