This enlightening discussion will feature insights from true innovators from emerging companies in the GIS and geospatial industries, specializing in cloud viewing, cutting-edge camera technologies, and lidar integrated with navigation systems. Presenters will talk about how being collaborative, nimble, and thinking beyond the current standards can help to lead the industry into a new era of 3D scanning. In this session, attendees will learn about what new technologies are currently being developed, what will come next, and what could make existing devices eventually obsolete. The 3D scanning process for the next generation may bear no resemblance to how it is accomplished today. While some industry giants are stuck in the “innovator’s dilemma” – when companies prioritize existing customer needs and technologies over disruptive innovations – this presentation will challenge current processes with a look ahead to the next generation of technology.
