The Deutsches Eck is the location of the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine Rivers in Germany. Here is an image I took last week while travelling throughout the region.

I would suggest that so called Big Data is dependent upon computing systems and applications that not only are capable of computational abilities, but are also geo-capable of multi-disciplinary, geo-refrepresentative of processes. erenced spatial analysis. Big Data questions occur where overlaps arise. They are 3D and reality based and lend themselves to geostatistical analysis. Simulation [...]

Are Surveyors and GIS People Missing The 3D Boat When It Comes To Architectural Design?
Posted on 23. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.
Are surveyors and geographic information systems (GIS) professionals missing the boat when it comes to architectural design? As architects expand their use of computational and measurement tools for building design purposes, it appears that their focus is on the generation of design alternatives – lesser on the practice of measurement. Although building and infrastructure analysis [...]

smartgeometry 2013 London: 3D, Optimisation and Sensor-Based Adaptive Design
Posted on 23. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.
Many speakers at the smartgeometry 2013 event in London, UK last week spoke about the changing nature of design. Computers are now contributing toward design in new and previously unknown ways. The rate at which different designs can be generated, tested and decided upon, is accelerating. But it is not only shape and form that [...]

Berlin is extending it’s U-bahn (U5) along the Unter den Linden down under the Spree River toward the Alexander Platz. I went for a walk recently and took a few pictures of the tunnel boring machine being installed. To accomplish this, the boring machine sections would arrive by boat on the Spree, then get lifted [...]

smartgeometry 2013 London: Computation Tools Add Numbers Into The Design Process
Posted on 22. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.
In the architecture, urban planning and infrastructure sectors there is rising interest in supporting designs and plans with real-world numbers. Although these software provide geometry capabilities for adding and editing designs, the connection between geometry and design is as much or more highly valued because it is on that basis that contacts are developed, construction [...]

smartgeometry 2013 London Workshop: Students Deliver Advanced 3D Computational Designs
Posted on 19. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.
Students at smartgeometry 2013 in London displayed their workshop projects (images below) and answered questions about their projects. Under the ‘Constructing for Uncertainty’ theme, 10 project groups worked on their individual projects. Groups included: (A)Synchronous Streams Adaptive Structural Skins Computer Vision & Freeform Construction Digital Intuition & Prediction PAD Projections of Reality Robotic FOAMing Thermal Reticulations Transformational [...]

The smartgeometry 2013, a Bentley System sponsored event opened today with a press event workshop that featured opening addresses and a tour of facilities for smartgeometry 2013 at University College London (UCL) today. Students working in theme clusters on real-world projects explained and demonstrated their design projects. These were not ordinary design projects. They are [...]

Producing Landscape 3D Point Clouds / Meshes From Photos
Posted on 15. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.
So you have an interesting picture and want to convert it into a point cloud… The folks at FPV Lab explain how you can go about doing that. It will direct you to download a program called VisualSFM. The program VisualSFM is a GUI application for 3D reconstruction using structure from motion (SFM).

3D GIS – 3D CAD Mapping for Industrial and Territorial Management
Posted on 15. Apr, 2013 by 3DVW.
Web Map based services have many benefits for real-world applications not only inside enterprises, but as a means for supporting the work of individuals and organisations outside the enterprise. Agricultural organisations and producers in the State of Minnesota have recently seen the benefits of web mapping of this type. Farmers are now able to identify [...]
