We went to Geo Week to see what all the way forward for PNT tech appears like!
What’s up, geo nerds?
We acquired to spend a while at GeoWeek in Denver just lately, the go-to place for all issues geospatial! We noticed so many cool issues and met so many inspiring individuals all geeking out collectively over what’s up and coming with precision, navigation and timing tech. This is a spherical up of what our time at GeoWeek seemed like!
Disclaimer: these photographs are all unaligned and seem like they had been taken on a potato, our deepest apologies. We had been simply so distracted by the spectacle that’s GeoWeek!
The Geospatial Inclusion Crucial
We acquired to attend a panel discussing the need for various voices and experiences main the geospatial trade, and the way to make sure fairness for all in the way forward for the trade.
Get Youngsters Into Survey
They create posters and comics round various kinds of {hardware} and ideas essential to surveying and work within the geospatial trade.
Superior Navigation
Superior Navigation is a world chief in AI navigation and robotics. We talked to them and acquired to study all about their underwater drones (pictured) that make the most of neural networks and acoustic navigation for subsurface navigation.
Reigl
There have been tons of drones on show, and Reigl had a number of the coolest wanting ones. They’re a global chief in cutting-edge tech in airborne, cellular, terrestrial, industrial and unmanned laser scanning for surveying functions.
Screening Eagle
We spoke to the parents at Screening Eagle about their floor penetrating radar, full with an interactive interface to allow you to see what your machine is seeing proper by way of concrete. They even had a rig that connected to a truck so you possibly can take it safely on the roads.
Mach9
Over at Mach9, we discovered about their software program that takes LiDAR knowledge converts it into actionable 2D or 3D maps virtually instantaneously. Their maps seemed nice caught our eye from throughout the room.
AmericaView
AmericaView advances Earth statement schooling by way of distant sensing science, utilized analysis, workforce growth, know-how switch, and neighborhood outreach. They’d some nice goodies at their desk, together with a kids’s e-book I grabbed for my niece a couple of child bat studying to map its manner by way of the world!
They even had a big puzzle of the 4 corners states we acquired to place collectively!
DJI Enterprise
If you realize something about drones, you realize about DJI. They’ve all kinds of drones, from ones that may race, to ones for hobbyists and even surveying or photogrammetry professionals. Their sales space was exhibiting off a few of their newer Mavic fashions, in addition to a drone docking station.
Unhealthy Elf
We made some associates over at Unhealthy Elf’s sales space, speaking all about handheld surveyors and what sort of know-how they’re enthusiastic about within the geospatial house. They create surveyors which are appropriate with sure cellphone apps.
That was GeoWeek! That is solely a slice of what we noticed whereas we had been there, it was inspiring to see all of the cutting-edge know-how that’s popping out of the trade. Til subsequent yr!
