Cesium

It was fantastic and a bit surreal to attend last week's Unreal Fest in Seattle. My 3rd Unreal Fest, but the first one not as an Epic employee. It was no less awesome of an event and very interesting to experience now as part of Cesium. My highlights for the week: -Catching up with my amazing former team at Epic, Mark Collins, Alban Bergeret and Nikola Jancovicova who are still doing an amazing job representing and supporting the simulation industry from within Epic. It was great to see Cesium, blackshark.ai, and Esri all mentioned during their Simulation Steering Committee meeting when they polled the audience about their favorite 3rd party Unreal plugin. -Getting to meet my new Bentley colleagues Greg Demchak, Daniel Wikstrom Pujante, and Markus Sauerbeck and see some of the cool work they're doing in Bentley Systems' XR Innovation Lab with Unreal. -Watching Ryan Veenstra and Greg Demchak give a great presentation about the combined power of Cesium and Unreal. -And finally, catching up with numerous friends, former coworkers, and customers who all share a passion for Unreal and what it provides to the world of real-time 3D.

Welcome to Vancouver! We are kicking off an exciting week at the Year in Infrastructure conference focused on the theme of sustaining tomorrow’s infrastructure today, and the role of open data ecosystems. ? But first, the finalists in our Going Digital Awards take center stage today, celebrating extraordinary infrastructure projects – and the people behind them. ? Another highlight at the event for onsite attendees is the immersive iLab experience. It takes attendees on a journey through time and technology, showcasing the legacy of Bentley Systems, interactive generative AI, and advanced visualization with digital twins. ? I am excited to be in beautiful British Columbia this week to engage with users, partners, and colleagues. Join us online tomorrow for keynotes. #YII2024 #infrastructure #engineeringexcellence

Strive to be a little bit out of your comfort zone so you’re always learning. Learn new technologies and unique skills to differentiate yourself.? It’s ok to be nervous and not know everything! Being curious, asking good questions, collaborating effectively, and seeking input from the team are important keys to success. Build a portfolio so it’s easy to help your skills come alive for others. These were just some of the incredible insights shared by the Cesium team at Bentley Systems during a recent visit with students from Launchpad Philly. The students were participants in CreateAccess’ 3D Creator program last summer, and CreateAccess was thrilled to help connect them to a company so committed to outreach to emerging tech professionals. The Cesium team put together an awesome experience for the students, including a tour, demos, a panel, and an opportunity for some of the students to share their summer projects. I was delighted to join them, alongside CreateAccess’ Chief Morale Officer, The Captain, who was a big hit. The students were, unsurprisingly, engaged, enthusiastic, and full of thoughtful and insightful questions. As ever, we are infinitely grateful for our collaborators who share our commitment to building bridges to careers in tech and uplifting the next generation of tech talent. Our community is amazing.

From the stunning coverage of the 2024 Olympic Games to lunar exploration and wildfire tracking, 3D geospatial technology is pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Inspired by his childhood love of gaming, Patrick Cozzi, our chief platform officer, has dedicated his career to pushing beyond those boundaries. Patrick's passion for innovation led to the development of Cesium's 3D geospatial technology. Learn more about how the company's journey led to Bentley's recent acquisition of Cesium fueled by a shared vision for the future of digital infrastructure. https://bit.ly/4dCsnNt #YII2024 #technology #geospatial #3Dtiles #digitaltwins #engineering #infrastructure

“Reentry” by Petri Wilhelmsen blends a game with a simulator, so users learn to operate spacecraft with realistic procedures and, soon, Cesium Moon Terrain. ?? Reentry users make their way through NASA’s Projects Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo while studying the history of human #spaceflight and gaining practical skills. Wilhelmsen reports it took only 30 minutes to replace his lower fidelity Moon with Cesium Moon Terrain. Learn more about Reentry and how it uses Cesium: https://hubs.li/Q02Sw6Hw0
