Reality Capture Network

A whale of a scanning story. Literally. …and all it took was an iPhone ?????? This week’s Re/Cap details how one researcher is simplifying and cheapening whale conservation & knowledge - all from hyper-informed necropsies via reality capture. PLUS: - A mind-warping fossil site discovery 15 years ago in Chile…and what 3D scanning did with it - African city planners look to airborne scanners - AI-VR de-escalation training for police - The American Society of Civil Engineers awards a robotic bridge inspector - An AEC Error of the Week of a structure sinking faster than Drake’s career And more tech tales, from Meta researchers building photorealistic avatars from just a few selfies to humanoid robots soon being able to uh, well, reproduce.

Moving to a visual way of working isn’t just the future.. It’s here!?? ExxonMobil is setting an example, with their Digital Reality Ecosystem (DRE). In this presentation Kyle Daughtry and Athicha Dhanormchitphong share how their team is driving a reality-first approach, one that prioritizes open, interoperable digital twins, and what it means for the future. In this session, they break down the impact of spatial computing, AI, and reality capture in large-scale industrial operations, and why they believe collaboration through initiatives like the Reality Capture Network, are critical for the industry’s future. Key Takeaways ?? A reality-first approach, why spatial data needs to be at the core of operations. ?? Digital twins must be open and interoperable, siloed data slows progress. ?? AI + reality capture are driving efficiency across large-scale industries. ?? Collaboration is critical, the industry needs shared standards to evolve. ?? The shift is happening now, how leaders can prepare for the next wave of change. The Full Video is available to watch on YouTube!?? Watch here ?? https://lnkd.in/gRbkePjT Shout out to the incredible team helping push this initiative forward! Kyle Daughtry, Athicha Dhanormchitphong, Nick Peterson, Joshua Burrows, Michael Hotaling, and more.????

A few new pieces of art in our office at Reality Capture Network … We don’t just talk about these things… we build them into the culture of our company, meetings, mindset, action items, projects, etc.. Failure isn’t the opposite of success, it’s part of the process. If you never fail, you’re not pushing boundaries, taking risks, or innovating. Every breakthrough comes with setbacks, and every lesson learned gets you one step closer to success. ??Thomas Edison “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” ??Or as Michael Jordan said, “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot 26 times and missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Do you help foster this idea in your company? Do you encourage those around you? Do you think this way personally? Keep moving forward. Keep learning. Keep innovating. The only real failure is giving up. ?? #Innovation #Leadership #Team

This winter brought a blizzard of innovation. So of course a hibernal “Best of The Re/Cap” was in order ??

All that in a single Re/Cap, the innovation newsletter done differently. Enjoy a special “Best of” issue below, and thanks for YOUR best in producing a better built world. https://lnkd.in/gX-DMy5U
