Mike Liebhold, Senior Researcher, Distinguished Fellow, Institute for the Future, will deliver a keynote “Unexplored 3D Worlds: The Futures of Focal Plane GIS” at COM.Geo 2013 conference which will be held on July 22-24, 2013, San Jose, CA.
In this talk we explore some future impacts and challenges of combinatorial innovations in sensing, mapping and rendering and computing technologies enabling humans and machines to intimately interact with rich 3D geospatial data in a vertical focal plane view. We’ll start with a tour through recent developments in sensor fusion, machine vision, and liquid data cloud supercomputing and then tour a few of the more interesting cartographic frontiers including augmented reality, robotic SLAM ( Simultaneous Location and Mapping) and geolocated simulations.
