There is no doubt @LeicaBLK solutions are technical marvels. #respect They are also expensive & over-engineered for many use cases. The best 3D scanner? The one you have with you. Our app works on the phone, and integrates with our AI for object ID. HTTPS://overlay.Com.ar

With respect, @knibbs of @wired misses on Apple Vision Pro. She’s hung up on the current form factor. It’s wrong, but not more off than the clunky deck of cards that put 1000 songs in your pocket for $500 (now replaced by 1 app on an iPhone that costs less). It’s a journey.

Location centric rather than user centric #AR has incredible untapped value in industry

The @thevrara Enterprise & Training Forum was a lot of fun to participate in this year. @kriskolodziej describes what he thought made it “very interesting”… thevrara.com/blog2/2023/5/26…

Excited for what @Apple has to say about its new mixed reality headset. I’ve got a feeling this might make Overlay’s #ai #ar experiences all the more powerful. Nobody comes close to what we are doing in industrial AR with iOS

There is a role for the technology vendors and GIS professionals to play in solving the biggest challenges facing humanity @jackdangermond @GeoWeekExpo - @AROverlay believes this 💯. We are making the most powerful GIS & reality capture tech easy & affordable

Conversations about public trust is powerful. There seems to be awareness that the end consumer is going to look for someone to blame when things get bad (less product, higher cost) #worldwatertech

Kennedy @OCWDWaterNews stresses importance of communicating with the public. I’ll be honest, most of these utilities seem pretty behind the curve when it comes to using technology to communicate with their customers—you need to go them in their forums #worldwatertech

Roger Gorke of @EPA highlighting importance of water reuse not just in urban settings but in agricultural setting as well #worldwatertech

Josh Kennedy (not that one) Dir at @OCWDWaterNews hopes that someday addressing water needs will be as streamlined as building sporting arenas #worldwatertech

Robert Ferrante of @sandistricts says we still have significant capacity in LA to store water underground in basins. “One Water” strategy & reusing water in all of its forms critical #worldwatertech

Hagakhalil @mwdh2o Smart Water Mgmt is the key. Need to identify new ways to store. Need to clean up ground water basins. Build conveyance to move water. Hope funding will be attached to delivering on these metrics #worldwatertech

Adel Hagekhalil of @mwdh2o says @GavinNewsom has done a good job of engaging with water leaders. Says we cannot conserve our way out of this challenge/drought #worldwatertech

Victoria Edwards if @FIDOTECHUK is a great speaker at #worldwatertech. Refreshing to here her perspective as someone who comes from outside of the water space. It’s going to take collaboration of a lot of perspectives to crack the challenges here

Mike App of @ElectroScan: “Everyone in water should be fired” “only baseball allows a percentage this bad” in response to the amount of water that is leaked annually. 😮 #worldwatertech

50% in the water industry will retire in the next five years. Wow. More important than ever to institutionalize data and process. #worldwatertech

Clayton MacDougald of @emerald_tech laments says that proving out the ROI for digital in water can be tough, but some are doing it well #worldwatertech

🙏@WorldWaterTech creating a great format to get real around what is holding back innovation in water. Eric Sullivan @AiSewer and I have no quarter. Jim Herberg @OCSanDistrict and Michael Thomas @mwdh2o are world class leaders in water (and great sports)! More of that please 🤩
