This is not the crystal ball you were looking for…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As I look into my crystal ball for this year there are some really big things going to happen in the GIS world, for starters, I feel it’s going to be all about the real<\/em> use of 3D GIS beyond the traditional visualisation\/pretty picture stage. \u00a0 ESRI’s forthcoming ArcGIS Professional<\/a> new application as well as their new streaming globe are going to change how we look at GIS I genuinely believe that. \u00a0 I hope that better integration with standards can push adoption (CityGML<\/a> and INSPIRE<\/a>) of this exciting area.<\/p>\n

\"ESRI<\/a>
This ArcGIS web globe will be able to stream 3D Cities!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

WebGL<\/a> is really opening up the ways in which our 3D data can be displayed, I’m looking forward to progress not only from ESRI but people like ViziCities<\/a>\u00a0(although nothing has happened on their blog for quite a while!) too.<\/p>\n

In the OpenSource world QGIS<\/a> is massively better than when I first started using it, the barrier (i.e. ease of use) to entry is being reduced and I think we’re not far of a time when ESRI will really have to justify very hard why ArcGIS Desktop Basic should be charged for, when such a competent GIS package can be had for free.<\/p>\n

On a personal level this blog will continue and my journey from Planning to CityEngine to the world of 3D GIS and Smart Cities will surely be a topic here!\u00a0As you may have seen I’ve entered into a partnership with CyberCity3D<\/a> a provider of cost effective 3D city data. \u00a0 I’m mainly advising them on CityEngine and ESRI integration but we’ve got some exciting projects coming up as well as new cities to create. \u00a0All to industry standard specifications (as well as any extras clients want)!<\/p>\n

Not just pretty pictures…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some exciting news<\/strong> I have left till last! I’m currently in the final phase of finishing my CityEngine Tutorials<\/em> and I’ve written some of it up as a text. \u00a0 As part of this I plan on holding webinars and screencasts that show tips tricks and various workflows for CityEngine. \u00a0 I’ve still got some way to go, but if you want CityEngine training fast and cost effectively please get in touch!<\/p>\n

\"Learning<\/a>
Imaginatively titled it is not… (don’t worry it’s a working title)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last but not least, this is hopefully the year when our local community project FibreGarden<\/a> starts building out a true fibre optic to the premises network! \u00a0 Forget copper and goodbye asynchronous \u00a0100 both ways please! \u00a0 This above all else will truly be transformational for us.<\/p>\n
