3D Data Visualization in the Age of Video Games

Never has it been easier to gather, translate and visualize data 3-Dimensionally. This session will review at a 100ft level the potential for leveraging geospatial data in new ways to create rich, spatial experiences for both practitioners and citizens. Once warmed, the audience will look to a future in which Indiana can lead this spatial revolution from its own backyard.

Zeb connects IU School of Informatics and Computing at IUPUI, college students to hundreds of local start-ups and internationally recognized partners, delivering emerging tech and media projects totaling thousands of hours of service. Website: https://soic.iupui.edu/people/zeb-wood/
