What is it about?
The paper deals with the issue of 3D display of virtual geographical maps. In the study were compared two different types o 3D displays with respect to human ability to identify altitudes in virtual 3D maps.

Why is it important?
The study suggests that when there is a possibility of interaction with the 3D map (manipulating with it), the advantage of stereoscopic 3D visualization in altitude and depth perception disappears. What more, in stereoscopic 3D mode were users suggested as more prone to human error making.
Perspectives
The study brings empirical evidence that stereoscopic 3D displays may be overrated and that their use can increase the risk of error making when working with interactive 3D geovisualizations.
