Building Berkeley: Mirror-World Creation from Geospatial Data - Live Virtual Event - Tuesday, December 15, 1 PM Pacific/4 PM Eastern
Join the editors of SmarterTechnology on Tuesday, December 15, at 1 PM Pacific/4 PM Eastern, for a LIVE virtual event:
Building Berkeley: Mirror-World Creation from Geospatial Data
Broad availability of geospatial data is changing the way local government, public works and other entities manage and communicate about the built environment. Virtual worlds are an emerging part of the mix: useful in many forms of visualization, including construction of accurate 'mirror worlds' from imagery and sensor data. In this unique session, we'll converse with Brian Quinn, GIS Analyst, County of Marin, CA, and formerly GIS Coordinator for the City of Berkeley, CA. We'll review progress on Brian's long-term urban modeling projects in OpenSim and Second Life, and discuss some of the challenges faced by mirror-world builders on these platforms. Co-moderating will be Kim Smith, COO of World2Worlds, metaverse developer and expert on public works and large-scale architecture and engineering projects.
Guest:
Brian B. Quinn (SL: Darb Dabney), GIS Analyst, County of Marin, CA (formerly GIS Coordination, City of Berkeley, CA)
Moderators:
John Jainschigg, Exec. Director, Internet & Technology Lab, ZiffDavisEnterprise
Kim Smith, COO World2Worlds, Inc.
