Data in the Real World: FME AR and FME Data Express
1 like•1,988 views
The document discusses the integration of augmented reality (AR) with data through Safe Software's FME platform, highlighting its value in visualizing and analyzing data within real-world contexts. It explains how to prepare and transform data for AR using FME and FME Data Express, allowing users to experience location-based, up-to-date models. The presentation also emphasizes the continuous advancements in AR technology and its applications in various scenarios, ultimately aiming to enhance decision-making through better data visualization.

- 8. FME Mobile Apps Access the power of FME wherever you are. ● FME AR ● FME Data Express
- 9. Augmented Reality Augmented reality (AR) uses the real world as a backdrop for computer generated elements.
- 10. Why Augmented Reality? There is great value in bringing your data into AR: ● It’s easily available through phones and computers ● See invisible objects (like underground assets) ● “Experience data” in the context of the real world ○ See design problems and discrepancies ○ Rich look at the data - realistic or totally artificial ● Technology is getting better and better.
- 11. Augmented Reality: State of the Art The technology is still developing. Some issues include ● GPS precision ● Indoor navigation ● Model stability ● Blending with real world
- 12. Do more with your data through AR We can make better decisions if we can visualize what our data actually means in the real world. This becomes possible with FME AR.
- 13. How to Bring Your Data into Augmented Reality
- 14. FME can be used to transform your data into AR format no matter what format it comes from. ● Bring your data into workbench ● Transform it to 3D if necessary, set styles ● Save it to FME AR Data needs to be prepared for AR
- 15. Spatially-aware AR. Let’s try it. It is simple with an FME workspace to place an object at any location on the planet. Watch video Try it yourself
- 16. Location-based AR on demand What if we need AR data that is: ● Up-to-date ● Relevant to a particular location ● Available in the field ● Created and and delivered on-demand
- 17. FME Data Express sends the current location of a device FME Cloud (hosted FME Server) transforms the data into FMEAR file and sends it back to the device FME AR opens the AR file and augments the reality Automation
- 18. Prepare AR models on demand Set Up ● Prepare the workspace that includes: ○ Reading data in any format(s) around submitted location ○ Transforming (2D to 3D, setting styles, scaling); ○ Saving as an AR model. NO CONVERSION AT THIS POINT ● Upload the workspace to FME Cloud. Workflow ● Create the model in FME Cloud for the location sent by mobile device through FME Data Express ● Stream the model to FME AR app (or just open pre-created models).
- 19. DEMO. Source Materials ● City Infrastructure in shapefile, geodatabase, DWG, geopackage… you name it. ● Style information in MS Excel ● 3D models in SketchUp, Collada, KML, OBJ etc.

- 21. FME Cloud (hosted FME Server)
- 22. How it works
- 23. Results The model is relevant to the current location and was generated from the most recent version of the original dataset Watch video
- 24. Model viewing. The power of FME ● Explore safely ● Scale 1:1 ● Viewpoints - geospatial bookmarks ● Draping viewpoints Watch video
- 25. Model viewing. Explore what’s coming Watch video
- 26. Advanced visualizations Combine the tools and power of cartography and 3D visualization. Merge thematic mapping and realism of the 3D models. Watch video
- 27. More Scenarios View air quality Walk through the models of the future Find your way indoors Annotate city assets Build a photo gallery
- 28. Don’t just look at your data, experience it. You can be more productive and focus on the work that matters when your data is visually layed out in front of you and easy to understand.
