This is so cool! NC GIS Conference

Last week in Palm Springs at the annual @Esri Partner Conference #EsriEPC2025 partners were recognized for excellence & innovation in using GIS. Recognition was provided for a number of categories, including: GIS for good, data analytics, ArcGIS integrations and more. 2025 Recipients include: - MGT Impact Solutions - JMT Technology Group - OpenGov Inc. - Halff - NISC National Integration Solutions Cooperative - Onneer - samdesk (photo credit to samdesk & informed infrastructure magazine - https://lnkd.in/gxkPguqf ) - GCS ( https://lnkd.in/gs-fmVeX ) - Sidwell https://lnkd.in/gVsfu2md

Beautiful! Be sure to say hi to Nicole Miller, PMP, GISP and Nate Reck today at the NC GIS Conference 👋 You can check out our presentation schedule here: https://lnkd.in/epnvuxP4

Some very impactful stories shared by Christen McNamara Watts, Sallie Vaughn, GISP, Greg Dobson, GISP and Eric Wilson about Hurricane Helene in the NC GIS Conference plenary. It was great to hear how they collaborated with others and used #GIS data and tools for preparation and recovery efforts.

Here we go! NC GIS Conference Day 1!

Excited that Mariyana Tozeva and I will be presenting a one-hour session on developing an Asset Management System for a multi-modal agency for the Spring CMAA - Baltimore Chapter Educational Workshop. We will be catering this presentation towards professionals working within the construction field. #assetmanagement #infrastructureassetmanagement #jmttg #jmt #adultlearning

✅LAUNCHED✅ JMT's new VirtualSpaces™ platform created an opportunity for our customers to more fully engage with their project stakeholders. Let us tell you how ⬇️ Downingtown Station, located along the Keystone Corridor in Downingtown, PA, is one of many projects the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is working on with Amtrak to provide ADA-compliant rail stations between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. PennDOT and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) conducted a public meeting to allow the public to review the updated plans and provide input on potential aesthetic measures to be incorporated into the project. Using JMT's VirtualSpaces™ platform, we created an interactive virtual meeting space for PennDOT and FTA to extend the reach of stakeholder engagement to a larger audience. The virtual meeting featured project plans, information on the project timeline and impacts, and 3D renderings of the proposed station rebuild, showing several aesthetic options for the buildings and landscaping. The virtual meeting collected visitor contact information and allowed visitors to comment on the project and their preferred aesthetic treatments. Each virtual station contains boards that can be viewed or downloaded, along with an audio narrative for the station. In the center of the virtual space, a 3D model imported from AutoDesk Revit data is displayed, giving users a larger contextual view of how the proposed Amtrak station buildings and site will fit within the surrounding community. More than 4,000 users viewed the virtual meeting, and comments indicated that visitors were drawn to the 3D model view.

We're proud to be a part of the PA GIS Conference! Looking forward to this year's event ✨ #2025PAGISConf

Did you know Digital Twins will become the next "Industrial Revolution" according to immersive technology pioneer, Dr. Carolina Cruz-Neira. She created the C.A.V.E.(Cave Automatic Virtual Environment) in 1992 using VR with rear projectors to immerse people together to collaborate in VR. She spoke at Miami XR at the University of Miami and shared where XR should go next. She currently works as the Agere Chair at the Department of Computer Science University of Central Florida. 🔹 The Growing Importance of Digital Twins Cruz emphasized that as our world becomes increasingly complex, digital twins will bridge the gap between the physical and digital realms. They provide a bidirectional, real-time connection that allows industries to test, simulate, and optimize processes at unprecedented speeds. From automotive to healthcare, digital twins are not just about efficiency—they’re about saving lives, accelerating innovation, and transforming workflows. 🔹 Breaking Free from Dashboards One of the key takeaways was the need to move beyond traditional dashboards in digital twin visualization. The future is not just about analyzing data on a screen—it’s about stepping inside the digital world to interact with information spatially. Whether through VR, AR, or alternative immersive technologies, digital twins should offer contextual, intuitive, and role-specific experiences. 🔹 XR: More Than Just Headsets Cruz challenged a common misconception: XR is not just about headsets. Just as we have different shoes for different occasions, we need diverse immersive solutions tailored to specific industry needs—whether it’s a CAVE system for collaborative engineering, AR overlays for field inspections, or fully immersive VR for remote design. True innovation in XR comes from adapting technology to the problem, not the other way around. 🔹 We Need Disruptive Thinking One of the most powerful messages from her talk: XR is evolving, but it is not yet disruptive enough. Since the rise of consumer VR, we’ve seen incremental improvements, not radical breakthroughs. We need to push beyond entertainment applications and integrate high-performance computing, AI-driven simulations, and real-time complex data processing into XR. 🌟 Takeaway for the XR Community: We must think beyond current hardware constraints and develop solutions that truly merge digital and physical realities in meaningful ways. Let’s build the next generation of immersive technology that doesn’t just replicate, but revolutionizes how we work, learn, and interact. A huge thanks to MiamiXR and Carolina Cruz for such a thought-provoking session! If you’re working in XR, how do you see digital twins and immersive technology evolving in the next decade? Drop your thoughts below! ⬇️ #MiamiXR #DigitalTwins #XR #AI #Innovation #ImmersiveTechnology #AugmentedReality #VirtualReality #FutureOfWork #DisruptiveTechnology #ExtendedReality
