This chapter introduces Viz World Classic (VWC) which is the classic design tool for map templates used by the Viz World Client (WoC) and thereby Vizrt’s control applications. Viz World Classic is an alternative to Viz World Client’s Map Designer.

Viz World Classic is a design tool with a database back-end, used for the creation of branded maps. By extending it with a server, it can provide real-time, branded map imagery to several clients embedded within Vizrt’s control applications. Templates created using Viz World Classic or the Map Designer can be dynamically accessed through Vizrt’s control applications using the WoC.

Viz World Classic has access to a comprehensive vector based database that includes regions, cities, roads, rivers, and so on. The vector data is supplied to Vizrt under license from Bartholomew Mapping (a division of Harper Collins publishers). VWC also includes global 1km relief data in the DEM (Digital Elevation Model) format. The DEM data is provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Essentially, VWC uses the best mapping data available and is a full animation and compositing system.
