Introduction to the Lecture

It is an inevitable requirement for comprehensively building beautiful China and developing a green and intelligent digital ecological civilization to speak with space-time information, study and judge in three-dimensional space, deepen the cognition of land space and build a digital governance system of land space. This report, with the construction of 3D interactive virtual reality China as an example, introduces the recent trends of spatio-temporal information resources development, looks forward to its important role in building beautiful China, and proposes to strengthen the innovation of digital intelligence, promote the deep integration of 3D interactive virtual reality and land spatial planning and governance, and support the construction of a digital governance system for beautiful China.
