How Do Recent NSA Surveillance Events Impact The Geospatial and Geomatics Industry?

3DVW — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 08:43:32 +0000

During the past week it has been revealed the several large Silicon Valley company’s have been sharing data with the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). That agency has increasingly been exploring and developing programs that transcend the security and privacy boundary. Facebook, Google, Apple, Yahoo and Microsoft are all included in the sharing of information, [...]

3D and Agriculture: And How Genetics Is The Starting Point

3DVW — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 14:00:24 +0000

Food production is shooting way under it’s potential. Way under. While many people speak about the need for more food, they wrongly assume that the potential is not there from the starting point. Many agronomists have spoken to the fact that, genetically, the wheat, oats, barley, canola and other crops we grow today only reach [...]

COWTrack – Denmark’s Digital Sensor Tracking for the Farm

3DVW — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:32:00 +0000

Researchers in Denmark have embarked on the COWTrack project. Using RFID sensors, cows are tracked for their behavior on the farm , with accelerometer data included – for those party animals! The system “is based on algorithms developed in the project will be able to continuously estimate eating behaviour and activity of individual cows.” “COWTrack [...]

3D Infrastructure and 3D Modeling: Company’s Aggregate and Re-think 3D Geo

3DVW — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 08:00:08 +0000

Slowly over the last year or so there has been an evolution taking place in the infrastructure, measurement and image analysis space. 3D has been a key driver, although not the only one. It would appear that many company’s are now adapting to new innovations in cloud capability and developing more integrated solutions. In some [...]

Learning and Education Using 3D: 700 EU Students Show Exceptional Gains

3DVW — Wed, 29 May 2013 06:44:18 +0000

Recent European research with 700 European students and 47 teachers shows that students make exceptional gains when being taught using 3D techniques. Fully 86% of the students showed improvement in learning and nearly doubled their rate of learning. As well, they remembered more. “The results of the research indicate a marked positive effect of the [...]

CastAR Augmented Reality Glasses: Potential in a GIS Application

3DVW — Tue, 28 May 2013 12:36:47 +0000

CastAR augmented reality glasses are an interesting technology due to the different approach that they use. The glasses project content onto a surface that users then experience. This can include more than 1 user and several persons wearing the glasses, standing before the projection screen will gain a unique view of the 3D projection. So [...]

Big Data Questions Cannot Be Answered Without GIS

3DVW — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:01:26 +0000

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 [...]
