VGE, it stands for Virtual
geographic environment. VGE’s are a type of 3D modeling or workspace for the experiments
run through computer generated geographic analysis systems. By contributing supporting
data like geo-visualization, geo-simulation, geo-collaboration, and human participation,
all allowing an open virtual environment that correspond to the real world for
the assistance of computer-aided geographic experiments that involve both the
physical and human realms. These experiments
called CAGE’s standing for Computer-aided geographic experiments have specific
frameworks that pertain to how the program runs.
This framework follows four sub-environments:
(1) the data environment, (2) the modeling and simulation environment, (3) the
interactive environment, and (4) the collaborative environment. All four pieces
are discussed according to their different functions, pertinent issues, and
corresponding solutions.
How are VGE's used, and for what purpose? Is it a recreation of a "real" environment in a virtual setting for analysis?

VGE's utilize real world data to create a virtual environment that is used in case studies to aid computer based experiments. Examples would be a case study on the simulation of air pollution and its analysis at different geographic scales.
