  2. Leica TITAN Debut

  3. Topics to be Discussed • Customer Problems • Leica TITAN Vision • Leica TITAN Description • Live Demonstration • Questions

  4. Customer Problems (1) • It’s very difficult for consumers of geospatial content to: • Find • View • Retrieve …the data they need • It assumes you know where the data is and what the data is • Proliferation of websites • No standardization • Esoteric Categorizations

  5. New York State GIS Clearinghouse

  6. Customer Problems (2) • It’s very difficult for consumers of geospatial content to: • Find • View • Retrieve …the data they need • Check Out: http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/ • Web based mapping sites are 2D, static, slow and very difficult to use

  7. USDA NRCS Geospatial Gateway • http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/

  8. Customer Problems (3) • It’s very difficult for consumers of geospatial content to: • Find • View • Retrieve …the data they need • The workflow of downloading data and getting it into your application is file based and difficult to implement

  9. USGS PhotoFinder: NAPP Aerial Photos Search http://eros.usgs.gov/products/aerial.html

  10. Problems to Solve: • Provide a single secure network for sharing geospatial data • Make it easy to publish geospatial data to a network of users, both internal and external to an organization • Communicate interactively • Enable a user’s system to become a ‘server’ of geospatial data and information • Enable in 3D • Make it fast and perform well • Enable publishing and consumption of geospatial data based on standard geospatial web services (WMS) • Users retain ownership rights to shared information

  11. Leica TITAN Vision • An online, secure, dynamic, collaborative network of authors and consumers, sharing geospatial data and location-based content within a social network • Users discover, access, visualize,share and retrieve data • Into multiple applications • Authors of content are ‘servers’of content • Contributed to by geospatial users from around the world • An alternative and interactive system for publishing and accessing geospatial data

  12. Innovation through Synthesis

  13. Discover Songs in the Network Share Songs with the Network

  14. Create a Profile Share your Space Join a Social Network!

  15. Connect and chat instantly on popular IM networks

  16. 3D Interactive Visual Gateway Visualize an Information Rich Digital Earth

  17. Google Earth Microsoft Live Local NASA World Wind ArcGIS Explorer Visual & Interactive 3D Gateway MySpace Interactive Social Network and Community Synthesis of IT & Geospatial Microsoft/Yahoo/AOL Instant Messenger Enabling Communication with a Global Community of Users Peer to Peer Proxy/Data Broker Easy Access & Sharing of Content Leica TITAN

  18. Innovation through Synthesis • MySpace = MyWorld • Instant Messenger = Geospatial Instant Messenger • P2P = Leica TITAN P2P Hub • 3D Rich Content Virtual Globe = Leica TITAN Client

  19. Leica TITAN Components Leica TITAN Client • A free web-based application based on a 3D virtual globe • Enables a global network of users to interactively visualize, share and discover data • Base imagery in the client is being streamed from GlobeXplorer Geospatial Instant Messenger • The primary communication protocol to chat discover, download and retrieve geospatial data and web services • Publish geospatial data and web services for others to access and retrieve Leica TITAN P2P (Peer to Peer) Hub • Allows an organization to create a secure community within the Leica TITAN Network where users within the organization can discover, view and access data. • Enables data to be shared both internally and externally

  20.

  33. Some Product ComparisonsDirections Magazine podcast July 17, 2007 Marketplace positioning of Leica TITAN, ArcGIS Explorer and GoogleEarth: http://www.directionsmag.com/images/podcasts/070717_don.mp3 • Google Earth • visualization tool to help organize the world’s information • ArcGIS Explorer • lightweight, professional visualization tool for using GIS-on-the-web • aggregating information, analysis • Leica TITAN • can be used for visualization, but really about sharing data • serve data directly from your desktop, no additional software, no pain!

  34. Target Markets Government Organizations • that have a mandate to author and share geospatial data and web services across departments and to the general public, including: • Local • State (including GIS Data Clearinghouses) • Federal (Civilian and Defense) Geospatial Data and Service Providers • who create and sell geospatial data and services to the consumer public Consumers • who use geospatial data and consume web services for a variety of vertical market applications

  35. Auto Update Monday July 9 Dear Leica TITAN User: • An auto-update has been released for Leica TITAN: • Google Earth Support: The Geospatial Instant Messenger now supports the direct publishing and serving of geospatial data to Google Earth. • File Share Count: See how many datasets are shared by each User, next to the User’s name within the Geospatial Instant Messenger. • New Leica TITAN Skin: The innovative new skin is visible at login and on the Geospatial Instant Messenger. • The Development Team will continue to provide regular updates to Leica TITAN, with auto-updates occurring rapidly every 2-3 weeks.  

  36. Future Features • Support for sharing data into various Internet, desktop and 3D virtual globe applications • Live camera feed support • Custom drawing tools • Point, line, polygon, building • Ability to search for data in the Leica TITAN Network • Search by geographic extent • Criteria-based search, based on metadata • Flight path editor to create and share 3D fly-thru’s • Ability to consume 3D scenes architected in LVE • Ability to download geospatial data from the Leica TITAN Network • Leica TITAN P2P Hub • Create a community • An entire organization is part of the TITAN Network as a ‘Community’ • The proxy server enables security and structure for internal and external distribution of data • Allows for permission-based access to data
