Immersive Environments create a new type of map

. . .

"A map is a representation, on a plane and at a reduced scale, of part or the whole of the earth's surface."

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1910, quoted in Mapping the Next Millennium by Hall

The real breakthrough is modern science's ability to measure, and therefore to map, a breathtaking range of spatial domains:

• Discover
• Explore
• Chart
• Visualize

In exploration and production we take for granted mappping extends from:

• pore space to
• reservoir space to
• regional geology and even to
• cosmic scales

Maps make discoveries real.

Maping, as we know it, started when Gerhardus Mercator published
"Atlas, or cosmographical meditations upon the creation of the universe, and the universe as created"
at the end of the sixteenth century
