A "smart city" uses technology like sensors and smart phones to improve urban life. We discuss the benefits and challenges, plus real examples.

What containerization is, the appeal of it, and how people use it to their advantage. At Safe we use Docker internally and as a way to deploy FME Server.

3D printing is permeating every industry from architecture to filmmaking. Here are some of the latest commercial uses, including rapid prototyping, customized objects, mass production, reconstruction... and some pretty weird use cases. We discuss how the technology works and how you can 3D print something, and the important steps involved in a 3D printing workflow. Plus, learn about a real example of how Oslo converted terrain and building models and printed a scale model of the city.

What is Augmented Reality vs. Mixed Reality, and how are these technologies impacting different markets? We discuss how the devices work, where this technology is today, and what’s currently being prototyped around the world. Learn how you can get started putting your data into an AR/MR device, and hear how Sweco uses FME to bring data types like CAD, BIM, and GIS into the Microsoft HoloLens.

Indoor mapping is being adopted by venues around the world, including airports, malls, universities, and museums. Not only does this help the public navigate large venues, but it also offers venue owners business intelligence by tracking foot traffic. Learn about various indoor wayfinding solutions and how the technology works.

Imagine being able to train your GIS to perceive and understand the world, and give you insights based on your data. Today, geospatial experts use machine learning for predictive & big data analytics. Listen to episode 1 of the Talk Data To Me podcast with @mapgirll and @tianawarner
