12-03, 14:00–18:00 (America/Belem), Room Ilha de Marajó (E Block)

Discover the power of Re:Earth Visualizer and Plugin system, an open-source WebGIS developed by Eukarya Inc., that enables users to easily visualize geospatial data on the web—no coding required and extend functionality by plugin system. This interactive workshop caters to both non-technical users and developers, progressively increasing in technical depth. You'll be guided through:

  1. Setup local environment for Re:Earth visualizer and plugin
  2. How to use/interact with Re:Earth Visualizer
  3. Key Point About Re:Earth Visualizer
  4. Introduce Re:Earth plugin and system architecture
  5. Create a simple plugin

The first half of the workshop is designed for all skill levels, ensuring everyone can create basic interactive maps. The latter half delves into more advanced topics, allowing developers to learn about plugin development for Re:Earth Visualizer. By the end, you'll have the skills to publish your own interactive online maps and a deeper understanding of how Re:Earth can streamline your geospatial workflows. Whether you're a GIS professional, developer, or enthusiast, join us to unlock the potential of this innovative WebGIS platform.
