Dear NEARC colleagues,

 

Apologies for not sending this earlier. I thought the CT GIS Network had better proximity, but NEARC also has many members within reasonable distance to attend this lecture.

 

I hope you can join us! My promise to go to Mory’s after the talk also holds for NEARC members 😊

 

 

 

Dear Connecticut GIS Colleagues,

 

This is a friendly reminder about tomorrow’s event. We expect it to be an outstanding talk. We hope you can join us!

Dear CT GIS Network members,

 

Happy New Year!

 

Greetings from Yale’s GIS Support Services. We are kicking off 2023 with a lecture by Rex Hansen, Esri’s Principal Product Manager for ArcGIS Maps SDK. Rex has over 25 years of experience in GIS, spatial analytics, and computer mapping. Currently, he guides the development of native technologies in the GIS industry to use authoritative geospatial content and analysis in offline workflows, photorealistic experiences, and immersive, extended reality solutions.

 

We would love to see you there!!

For many years now, the gaming industry has been in a race to build the most photorealistic and immersive games, incorporating realistic interaction models, atmospherics, physics, etc. The fierce competition has resulted in software and hardware technologies that deliver high-performance experiences on a variety of devices, including VR headsets, AR devices, desktops, phones, and tablets.

 

Developers are realizing that these software and hardware technologies can be used to deliver new classes of applications across a broad range of industries, applications like fully immersive simulations, collaborative planning tools, or hyper-realistic visualizations of assets. Developers can build world-scale AR, tabletop AR, and VR experiences for industries as diverse as AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction), Utilities, Transportation, Defense, Public Safety, Natural Resources, and Education to name just a few (source.)

 

ArcGIS Maps SDK for game engines offers:

• The convergence of real-world GIS and game engine real-time visualization will enable us to create detailed 3D representations of our data. This ultimately means empowerment, through analysis and visuals, over complex projects like digital twins, architectural visualization, and simulation.
• Interactive 3D worlds with geo-accuracy by accessing real-world terrain, imagery, 3D structures and features.
• The ability to bring these new projects to desktop and mobile platforms, as well as popular XR hardware like Oculus Quest and Microsoft HoloLens (source.)
