Geodan to transform geospatial data into virtual reality at INTERACT 2016

Brussels, September 28th & 29th

The industry keynote speaker has been announced for INTERACT – The Luciad User Conference 2016. Professor Henk Scholten of premier Dutch geospatial solutions provider Geodan will provide the industry keynote for the conference.

Scholten’s presentation ‘Geocause – Connecting Futures to our Present’ will show how smart interactive 3D solutions can be used to engage users and enable organizations to plan for the future more effectively. Geodan has worked to develop Geocause, a system for building georeferenced virtual environments to engage stakeholders through building, displaying and sharing ideas and plans. Similar to the principles of Pokémon Go, the solution merges virtual worlds with physical ones, creating a state of transreality and gamifying smart governance.
