GEOINT 2013* – Day Three
I had the opportunity to interview Keith Masback, CEO of USGIF, about GEOINT 2013*. He discusses new technology, future combat systems, and plans for the 2015 conference. Watch the interview here:
I spent a good part of the day touring the GEOINT EXPO. Here are a few video clips that show technology I found especially interesting, from these exhibitors. (Scroll down to see each video.):
- Consolidated Resource Imaging (CRI) – wide area persistent surveillance and tracking.
- Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. – a new technology that creates real time 3D models.
- Solid Terrain Modeling, Inc. – a system that creates very large physical 3D models.
- TerraGo – the latest developments in geospatial data display and collection in disconnected environments.
- Thermopylae Sciences & Technology – high quality 3D virtual reality display goggles.
Ball Aerospace: Roy Nelson of Ball Aerospace discusses real-time 3D models created with flash LIDAR.
Consolidated Resource Imaging (CRI): Dr. Gregg Wildes discusses the company’s system of wide-area surveillance, including the WAMI, or wide-area motion imagery system.
Solid Terrain Modeling: Mark Fisher talks about how his company creates 3D models of terrain using geospatial data sets with its special inkjet printer.
TerraGo: Scott Lee shows off new developments with GEOPDFs on a mobile device, using the Terrago Edge application.
Thermopylae Sciences & Technology: Jamel Monroe, engineer at Thermopylae, demonstrates the Occulus Rift 3D virtual reality glasses, with the game Half-Life 2.
