Matrix Cycle in 3D

Update 02/23: here is better picture:

DualINterpretationMatrix 

Linear transformation in 3D graphics can be tricky, here is as “Matrix Cycle” that should help to better understand transition between spaces. The tricky part is actual numerical representation (or direction) in the transformation matrix.   Some info about  also here (nice notation of actual numerical matrix direction) nice online demo here

3D visual interactive analysis with myVR SDK at HxGN Live 2017

Recent weeks I have been working on the concept code named ‘Impact IN’  where I could apply few interesting ideas of the modern, interactive 3D  geospatial analysis. The core 3D functionality and viewshed analysis is provided by myVR SDK . While this concept is demonstrated  on iPad Pro with iOS , myVR SDK  is truly multi-platform SDK so this can be run on any platform (Android, Web, Desktop, it runs even on Daqri helmet!). I have used Apple Pencil to navigate directional viewshed and to drive fly-through on 3D map  – it works like joystick. Another concept  shown here is the real-time transition of the analysis from 3D to 2D – so while user interacts with the viewshed on 3D city model  of London , it is at the same time reflected on 2D map, creating thematic map of the impacted areas – a classic GIS result that can undergo further analysis in a GIS system of choice, or better go directly as input into the Smart M.App    (e.g. into Studio or Grid Analysis)….  following video is what attendees could see at HxGN Live 2017 .
