The construction industry uses GIS data and as 3D modeling becomes more prevalent the need for interoperable 3D formats is even more necessary.
GEOSPAN is a 35 year old GIS company that continues to act as a startup. In the latest iteration, we have pivoted into the construction and contracting sphere and discovered a truly important field is lacking in open standards for communicating important information. Come discover the unique challenges of working in a corner of the market with limit tooling and interesting problems. Using OpenLayers as a way to view Oblique images, forcing ThreeJS to be a GIS rendering technology, and see the ways we are moving towards an open specification on 3D topologies for features.
Working on similar challenges? Come see how we can help move the field forward together.
