SAVE THE DATE: 9th GeoIT Wherecamp Conference 2019 at November 14th @ TU Berlin Wherecamp: Call for Participation 9th GeoIT Wherecamp Conference 2019 The GeoIT Wherecamp Conference is a premier conference focusing on the latest research insights around GeoIoT, GNSS, digital mapping, (autonomous) mobility and spatial intelligence of the GeoIT domain including industry and academic institutions. This year we will once again be joined by industry leaders, subject matter experts and map enthusiasts who will share their vision and exchange ideas. Navigation with smartphones is often be considered as the key innovation of the enduring 21st century. Few could have predicted the rapid growth at which GeoIT Navigation with Web Maps and Location based Apps gained traction and start change the way humans navigate and interact with the world around them. Similar to ?Web 2.0 / Geoweb Infrastructures? in the year 2005, a ?Mobile / Location Based Apps 2.0? (LBA) phase, benefiting from Android chipsets RAW GNSS raw data access for sub-meter level outdoor positioning using differential techniques (RTK, PPP, DGPS) and dual frequencies chips in the mass market is expected. A new ?IoT / GeoIoT 1.0? age with AR is pushing the digital frontier forward in the indoors already. AR annotations can expand the (geospatial) interaction socially, e.g. leaving an AR-message for guests at the high-tech coffee machine. New main methods from the digital frontier after edit(), calculate(), publish(), transport(), integrate(), navigation(), sense() and habitize() with their derived applications and at the end also worldwide IT/GeoIT players are expected in the next seven years until 2025. Autonomous driving and flying are major long-term developments with the potential of a new Kondratiev-Cycle for 50 years. In the years ahead, how will consumer expectations and business needs continue to evolve? What challenges will the GeoIT industry need to overcome? How will spatial data, algorithms, interactive maps and location sensors need to adapt? Which new hardware will be required? What is the ?equivalent of TCP/IP? for the spatially supported material transport? In which way will indoor positioning sensors, IoT, autonomous cars and drones evolve? To help answer many of these questions we are looking for speakers from following fields: * Mapping & navigation applications * Autonomous vehicles like drones and cars * Delivery patterns, prices and utilization rates * Public transport/mobility patterns with modern ticketing * Logistics & asset tracking * User experiences * Indoor applications * Augmented Reality applications * GeoIoT applications * Spatial data and components * Spatial probes & big data * Spatial Machine Learning (GeoAI) * Mobile Sensor Networks * GNSS/dGPS * 3D and AR Technologies * Open Data * Applications of Android RAW GNSS including differential positioning, dual frequency chipsets and use of Galileo signals * GeoIoT, AR & wearable technologies Venue: * Lichthof, Technische Universität Berlin, Straße des 17. Juni 135, 10623 Berlin, Germany Timeline: * October 24th, 2019: Submission deadline for talks * November 14th, 2019: Conference Goto Wherecamp 2019 Event Site Xiaomi Mi8 EE Device to share between GeoIT.org Members After the first introduction of the GNSS raw data measurement initiative at ION and e.g. at the Wherecamp 2016 by Google, Galileo and Broadcom, the Xiaomi Mi8 is the very first device which combines all hardware, firmware and OS layers to allow simple usage of the GNSS L5/E5 frequency in the mass market. Although dGPS / RTK is not built-in (yet), you can add this feature in your app directly by using the EU Project GNSS flamingo SDK or services of our a new GeoIT.org member Rokubun from Barcelona. Except of the antenna, you Mobile 2.0 Location Based App may can use a much higher precision similar to current surveying devices. As a GeoIT.org member you can gain your own hands-on experiences by receiving this device via postal services for one or two months. Interested?! Write a short email to president at geoit.org. The Baidu Apollo.Auto is a relevant Open Source and Data Project for autodrive. Prof. Dr. Roland Wagner collected "tons of data" at his research professorship at the University of Tokyo in spring this year. Because of the huge amount of data and the missing access from Germany it is more suitable to copy the data via hardware drive. Interested?! Send a message to president at geoit.org to get the disk or just come to the DigitalMobilityBarcamp at TheDrivery (see below). Goto Apollo Website Digital Mobility Barcamp @ TheDrivery (this) Thursday 22nd of August (In German) Sei dabei, wenn digitale Lösungen für die Mobilität der Zukunft entstehen! Am 22. August bringt das Digital Mobility Barcamp kreative Köpfe aus dem Mobilitäts- und Digitalbereich zusammen, um innovative Mobilitätsthemen und -visionen zu diskutieren. Das Barcamp dient als Plattform und Ideenschmiede für neue Lösungen, Projekte und Kooperationen. Neben Wissenstransfer, Austausch und Brainstorming im Workshop-Charakter steht das Networking im Zentrum. Teilgeben statt bloßem Teilnehmen ist Programm. Dabei ist das Du obligatorisch. Es gibt einen definierten Ablauf, die Themen und Inhalte der Agenda entstehen jedoch erst vor Ort. Vorschläge für die interaktiven Sessions kommen von euch - den Teilnehmern. Themen oder Fragestellungen, die auf das größte Interesse stoßen kommen auf die Agenda. Die mögliche Themenpalette ist breit: Digitale Lösungen für die Mobilität der Zukunft stehen im Zentrum. Spielwiese für Ideen und Innovationen sind der urbane und suburbane Raum. Das Themenspektrum kann von multimodalen Verkehrsketten und Seamless ÖPNV über intelligentes Routing und smarte City Logistik bis zu neuen Geschäftsmodellen im Bereich Mobility as a Service und Mikromobilität reichen. Register here MyGalileoApp ? final 10 announced! The final 10 have until October 21 to deliver a fully-functioning version of their app. We can now reveal the ten projects in the MyGalileoApp competition judged to be the most exciting in terms of their level of innovation, market potential and technical feasibility. Selected from 30 projects shortlisted for the competition?s first development phase, these 10 projects will now advance to the second development phase, at the end of which they should deliver a fully functioning app. Four of the 10 shortlisted projects are in the Augmented Reality and Games innovation area. In no particular order, these are: uMaze (Finland), ARGEO (Italy), STPR (Poland, Australia, Ukraine) and arstory (Germany). uMaze creates mazes in specific outdoor areas in which users can play, while ARGEO allows users to discover content such as prizes, coupons and shopping cards geo-located around the streets of a city. The STPR app combines a virtual environment with game-related physical experiences in the real world, and arstory is a complete augmented reality ecosystem based on four main components: Galileo location, virtual objects in the real world, clustering of objects and a wide array of content options. The Smart Navigation and Infotainment innovation area accounts for three of the 10 finalists. The Ready Park app (France) makes parking easier by pairing drivers leaving a spot with users looking for one. GALILEONAUT (France) is a mobile app that helps sailors to navigate inside a port or a marina and provides a link to the harbour master's office, while the Trukatu app (Spain) is a mobile C2C platform that connects people who want to rent or lease items with owners who have items to rent out. Read this: Galileo Demo Centre Hanoi ? only a few spaces left! Two of the shortlisted projects fall in the Fitness, Sport and mHealth category. The first of these - PanPan - Possible Assistance Needed (Germany) - serves as backup safety solution for potentially dangerous activities that may leave users in need of assistance, while the second - LetMeAut (Italy) - makes everyday tasks easier for people with autism. Finally, the Mapping, GIS and Agriculture innovation area accounts for one app among the top ten shortlisted projects. Tractor Navigator (France) provides guidance for farmers driving tractors, enabling them to visualise their current position and trajectory in an open field. ?The standard of entry in this year?s competition was very high, which made the judges? task a difficult one. However, the final 10 projects stood out in terms of their innovative approach and uptake potential and we are looking forward to seeing the final working apps in October,? said Justyna Redelkiewicz Musial, in charge of LBS and IoT market development at the European GNSS Agency (GSA). ?We hope that the 20 projects that didn?t make it into the second development phase will continue to develop their apps because, at the finals, they will also have the opportunity to demonstrate the progress that they have made,? she said.
