Changers: From Steppe to Market and BeyondAlex Yule
The document discusses "changers" which refers to Mongolian pastoralists who produce and sell livestock byproducts. It presents research on the changers, including how and why changing emerged as an occupation, the changers' current role, and how their business has evolved over time. It also questions whether there will still be a place for changers in Mongolia's future as the economy continues to transition away from pastoralism.
The document describes the development of poll map templates to allow users to vote on topics and display the results geographically. It outlines the conceptual planning, design, and implementation of poll maps for specific events like the Super Bowl and basketball games. This includes designing the user interface, developing the architecture using multiple servers, and deploying the application on Amazon Web Services. The goal is to create a reusable poll map template that can be configured for different polling questions, maps, and data.

Augmented Reality: A New Geovisualisation Method for GISSung Hyun Jang
This document discusses using augmented reality as a new visualization method for geographic information systems (GIS) data. It provides background on trends in geovisualization, including moving from 2D to 3D and realistic visualization. The document reviews augmented reality definitions, history, and applications. The research aims to visualize geo-objects in ubiquitous environments using augmented reality to provide dynamic, real-time visualization of GIS data. Initial results demonstrate a GIS augmented reality map using ARTags and displaying University College London buildings in the Layar platform. Future work includes improving positioning techniques and developing new user interfaces and application scenarios.
The document discusses ArcGIS software for managing land records. It covers an agenda for a land records seminar including an overview of ArcGIS, maps and apps for local government, parcel editing, workflows, and scenarios. It demonstrates ArcGIS capabilities for land records like parcel value apps, analysis dashboards, and parcel map templates to help local governments maximize the value of property data.

OrangeNXT - High accuracy mapping from videos for efficient fiber optic cable...BigDataExpo
1. The document proposes using convolutional neural networks and labeled image data from municipal maps to develop a system for high-accuracy mapping from street-level videos.
2. Labeled image data from municipal maps would be used to train convolutional neural networks to detect and map objects like trees, lampposts, and traffic signs from street-level panoramic images.
3. A prototype system is able to detect some objects beyond what is in municipal maps, like driveways and gardens, but challenges remain in accurately mapping 3D objects from 2D images. The system would allow for inexpensive, on-demand, and up-to-date mapping of cities from street-level panoramic videos captured from vehicles.
This document discusses considerations for designing maps and sharing content to mobile devices. It covers keeping map design simple, focusing on the user experience, and accounting for device and environmental factors. It also outlines workflows for authoring, customizing, and using mobile projects locally or web maps online. Intelligent web maps are presented as a new medium that can integrate services to simplify using GIS and enhance access and collaboration across devices through online sharing.
Second Life 9th Birthday: Making Virtual Learning Spaces A RealityE S
The document summarizes a project to develop a virtual simulation of El Cerrito Village in New Mexico using multiple development platforms. The team gathered data on the real village and built versions in Second Life, OpenSim, Google Earth, and Unity Engine to compare the platforms. They modeled buildings, imported textures, and replicated the layout and surroundings. The final simulations allowed virtual visits and information about the historical village. The project aims to break the habit of only using Second Life and provide a comparative study of different virtual environment tools.
