AGILE CyberCartography Workshop 2021

Yesterday, I attended an online workshop called CyberCartography - A Beyond State-of-the-Art Role of Geovisualization in the Understanding of the World’’ which was part of AGILE conference. The event was organized by the National Technical University of Athens and supported by CYENS – Centre of Excellence (formerly known as RISE).

The workshop aimed in providing a forum for fruitful interactions and for joining forces among three major geospatial communities: the Association of Geographic Information Laboratories in Europe (AGILE), the International Cartographic Association (ICA) and the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS).

Qualcomm AR Seminar

Today I have attended a talk at Vienna University at the Qualcomm Augmented Reality Lecture Series. The speaker was Dr. Ernst Kruijff who is a senior researcher specialized in the analysis, design, and validation of 3D user interfaces. He works at the Institute of Visual Computing, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, as head of the 3DMi group.

The title of his talk was ‘Sensory expansion: exploring human sensory potential in 3D interaction’. The presentation focused on the extended stimulation of senses in interactive systems. In particular, it explored several innovative 3D interface projects that expand the senses by offering sensory rich feedback.
