Abstract

The options of visualization of spatialities grow with use of 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. 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.
