3D and Photorealistic Navigation

Navigation Systems with High-Quality Graphics

This Research Brief is part of the Location Aware Services Research Service


This research brief discusses the system and device requirements that enable a navigation device to show lifelike 3D images or photographs. The primary factor slowing adoption is cost pressure due to the requirements for processor power, display resolution, and memory for database storage. Other factors include the complexities of database development, and population coverage. Pushing adoption forward are consumer demand, falling costs for components, and clever solutions to processing and memory constraints. This brief profiles market participants and forecasts growth trends for the adoption of this feature through 2012.
