WELCOME
TO GISIG WWW Server
GISIG was constituted in 1992 and is a sectoral non-profit making Association
on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) grouping about 100 Organisations
from 21 European countries.
They are organisations working on territorial subjects and research
institutions which guarantee interdisciplinary experiences, both on GIS
as technological tools and on their sectoral applications (urban and territorial
planning, agriculture, transports, environment, etc.).
GISIG aims at realising the co-operation among GIS operators through
the promotion and development of joint European projects (in the field
of education and training, research and development, as well as regional
development policies).
Such projects are mainly devoted to the technology transfer towards
SMEs and Local Public Authorities, and to the exchange of experiences at
European level, also promoting the international cooperation with particular
emphasis towards the Central and Eastern European Countries.

Tour

Thanks to the technology of Virtual Reality you can now tour this extraordinary
monument at your leisure from wherever you are in the world and experience
it as if you were actually in it. Moreover, at the touch of a button you
will be taken two thousands year back in time and will be able to visit,
with the same degree of realism, the Colosseum in its pristine splendor
as it was on one day of its dedication by the emperor Titus.
Go into the arena, walk among the marble seats reserved for the Roman
senators, stroll under the marble colonnade of the gallery, or fly over
the whole structure, which you will also be able to take apart and section
in order to understand the details of its incredibly advanced building
technique. The Colosseum is a joint production of ENEL, Infobyte, and Banca
di Roma to celebrate the Rome Jubilee of the Year 2000.
