New User Story: Virtual City Systems

Virtual City Systems uses CesiumJS as the core 3D renderer across its modular urban planning suite, enabling high-performance visualization of CityGML, mesh, and point cloud data directly in the browser. Their open source VC Map platform supports modular add-ons, such as VC Solar, which uses a custom sun model, ray-tracing approach including shadowing impacts from surrounding objects, and a NASA weather model for calibration to analyze solar panel feasibility for entire cities using CityGML datasets.
