Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Video Games: An Introduction

This video introduces the use of geographic information systems or GIS to make video games. Specifically I show you in this video how you can use existing tools like the 3D capabilities of ArcGIS Pro with the Unity game development engine using the new ArcGIS SDK for game engines. If you're GIS person who has never considered the relationship between GIS and games or seen what a game development environment looks like, you will find this video very interesting. If you are a game developer interested in incorporating real-world data sets to create compelling virtual worlds, you will find this video interesting for considering the use of GIS technology for building your games.
