Abstract
The voestalpine Stahl GmbH operates one of the largest integrated
steel plants in Europe at its Linz site. An interactive, three
dimensional visualisation solution for navigating the extensive
works site was previously unavailable. The aim of this thesis was
the development of DISC– Digital Industrial Steel Campus– an
interactive 3D visualisation application based on Unreal Engine
5.6 and the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine. The application represents the voestalpine
works site as a navigable 3D environment, integrating real GIS data consisting of a vector base
map, a digital elevation model and georeferenced 3D building models. The implemented features
include free 3D navigation via mouse, keyboard and gamepad, a dynamic layer panel for toggling
GIS layers, a geo-bookmark system for predefined viewpoints, a real-time overview map and a
structured main menu with help screens. All mandatory requirements defined by voestalpine
were fully implemented. Beyond these, several optional features such as layer transparency
control and a mini-map were additionally realised.
