He is actively involved in organizing developer workshops, community events, and technical outreach programs, helping bridge Japanese open geospatial initiatives with the global 3D geospatial ecosystem.
Sessions
PLATEAU, point clouds, and vector datasets are rapidly expanding the scope of geospatial applications. This session introduces the latest developments in 3D Tiles 2.0 and explores how GIS data, 3D city models, and reality capture data can be integrated into next-generation digital twin workflows.
An experimental CesiumJS project that reconnects scenes from Barefoot Gen to real locations in Hiroshima, using historical maps and open geospatial data to explore spatial storytelling, cultural memory, and how narrative can be read through geographic space.
