Indexed 3D Scene Layers (I3S) – What is it ?

• An open specification for storage and transmission of large, heterogeneous 3D

geospatial data sets.

- https://github.com/Esri/i3s-spec

• Designed to be Cloud, Web and Mobile friendly based on modern web standards

and best practices.

• Supporting 3D geospatial content, various coordinate systems along with a rich set

of layer types.

• Without any commercial software dependencies.

Designed for 3D Geospatial

Indexed 3D Scene Layer History

• Indexed 3D Scene Layer project started in 2013

• Initial release as with the ArcGIS platform in 2014

• Published as an open specification in April 2015

• Supported by Vricon, Bentley, Cyclomedia in 2016

• Passed OGC Requirements to begin the process for transitioning to a OGC

community Standard in 2016
