| Description | The paper deals with options of visualization of spatialities using information and communication technologies (ICT). Four types of spatialities described according to Hynek and Vávra (2007) have been selected and tested for current ICT methods. The natural and socioeconomic spatialities could be easily visualized by geographical information systems (GIS) with addition to 3D modeling. Whereas the natural spatiality is clearly connected to standard GIS visualization using typical layers combining, socioeconomic spatiality uses for expression of causalities cartograms and other advanced tools such as virtual tours etc. Imaginative or performative spatialities work more with other types of visualization, mostly based on advanced computer graphic and cyber/cybernetic space. Typical example is use of augmented reality technologies incorporated into mobile devices and mass delivered in ordinary use. Paper deals with the examples of visualization in each of the spatiality, critically discusses the potential and risks of computer-based tools used in visualization and proposes the suitable implementation in geographical sciences as well as possible transition among defined spatialities. |
