While many different visualization techniques allow valuable insights, intuitive and natural exploration approaches are often missing, and hence usually only domain-experts are able to efficiently explore such data sets. In this paper we demonstrate a virtual reality (VR) based setup for geographic information systems (GIS), which allows users to perform navigation tasks in stereoscopically displayed interactive 3D geospatial environments using multi-touch hand gestures in combination with foot input. Furthermore, we have performed an initial user study in which we analyzed the proposed setup.
