Unlimited technology - Large GIS presentation stuff

[Wishgranter]

Hello All, see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=t8rsEJoh6mQ

Its the Euclideon tech, what was believed its just unpossible to be reality..... and now 2 years later can see the possibilities of it......

Im hoping this is what you want to have for presentation of data.... And later this year wil come out many interesant application based on photogrammetry, LIDAR and etc....

It will be interesting to see if this turns in to a useful product.

I remember the general consensus about it, circa 2011, being that it was an interesting, if not quite as revolutionary as they were claiming tech demo. I think I remember John Carmack saying they might turn it into something useful in 5 years and I believe Minecraft's Notch was a good deal less optimistic. Maybe they're ahead of schedule.

If you want some software that does work for point clouds and large meshes you should look at Eonfusion. Not sure what they are up to now but a few years ago loading models with textures of 20 to 50 million faces were possible and that's when video cards only had 1 gb of ram. Eonfusion builds a tiled and cached copy of the dataset (it takes a while initially) and then you can explore it in real time. It's pretty versatile and can handle 3D and 4D data. I used it for the generation and visualisation of time series coastal erosion/inundation models, quality checking of ice lidar data, and 4D ocean and climate model visualisation. They are good guys and pretty sharp coders. By the way that top link is cactus.

Was that euclideon giving another little glimpse and then taking it away again to keep us all interested?

I had been keeping half an eye on their work as it is interesting, was there anything new in the video while it was still up?

Just found it.

Consider me convinced. Very impressive!

Looks pretty awesome for high density data vis. Wonder if you can do any processing/analysis?

Meshmaster thanx, they disabled the video afther few hours and im have no time to search for it again...

their stuff can be implemented in any GIS or other sw im think - they were presenting it already on some exhibitions in last few months. How it work is explained in the video - every pixel onscreen use just one particular point from pointcloud. but for this they use soem very advanced sorting algo....

Best to see it in the video....

Just incredible!
But why isn't there a product to buy with a price tag on their homepage?

[Wishgranter]

Oli, some company from Wien has presented it live on Intergeo in 2012, wil try find the contact info on them when im back home.....

Uuhh, really!? Might have been www.uvmsystems.com then.
Thank you!
