Digital Disruption• Forrester Research
– James McQuivey• Disrupt
– Seek The Adjacent Possible– Utilise Convergent Adjacency– Persist on the Innovation Path– Create Whole Product Values
@AGINorthGroup@linknode8
Augmented Reality• Gartner 2013
– Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies
@AGINorthGroup@linknode8
Solution Looking for a Problem?• Transition between innovation and
compelling value, science to business
• Customer-centric rather than technology
• Current applications– Utilities, Heritage, Architecture, Planning and
Entertainment

GIality
GIality n. [jee-al-i-tee]
1. the convergence of geospatial data with augmented reality technology
2. the integration of real-world sensors for attitude, orientation, location and imagery with spatial data and services to provide new 3D visualisation tools for a mobile equipped workforce and public
@AGINorthGroup@linknode8
Example
@AGINorthGroup@linknode8
Geospatial Interfaces• Location
– Capture, Correction, Accuracy, Datums, Coordinate Systems, Transformations
• Context– Mapping, Aerial Photography, User Data– Served by Standards for Interoperability
• Terrain– Grids, Survey, Lidar, Ground and Surface
@AGINorthGroup@linknode8
Hardware Requirements• Digital Compass• Digital Camera• 3-Axis Gyroscope• Accelerometer• Location (GPS)• Portable Computer with
– Flexible Operating System– Internet Access & Communications– Graphics and gaming

Visual Impact Assessment (VIA)• Part of EIA (Environmental Impact
Analysis) – an assessment of the possible impacts resulting from development
• Visual impact is defined as a change in the appearance of the landscape as a result of development

@AGINorthGroup@linknode8
Typical VIA Components• Viewshed / ZTV
– Map-based zones of theoretical visibility• Cross Section
– A-B line-of-sight assessment• Viewpoint
– Photomontage– Line diagram– Artistic impression
• Visualisation– Guide scale, location and design of wind farms– Used for more illustration
@AGINorthGroup@linknode8
VIA Challenges• Technical Interpretation
@AGINorthGroup@linknode8
VIA Challenges• Public Halls
– Limited Communication
• Websites– Limited Data

Case Study• Major West Coast Development
– Public Consultation by Facilitating Change

How It Works• Cross-Platform (Xamarin Mono App on iOS / Android)• Secure Web Administration Site• SQL Azure Storage and Query
– OS OpenData Panorama / Terrain 50 (+ Client DTMs)• Mapping Server (WMS Delivery and Transforms)
– MapGuide Open Source 2.5• WCF Web Services
–Terrain, Projects, Coordinate Systems and Other Data• Azure Data Storage
– OS OpenData Vector Map District (+ Client Data Overlays)

Call to Action – Mobilise!• Consider The End User
– GI Professional or Spatially-Poor Citizen• Consider The End Product
– It’s Not Always About the Map– Spatial Data is Just The Enabler
• Use New Technology Where Appropriate– Mobile, Sensors, 3D
• Seek Convergence and Adjacency
