Rich Interface Design with Adobe FLEX Builder.

Rich Interface Design (RID) is the best way to work alongside a developer. You don’t have to design and afterwards the developer tries to transform it into code or upside down you dont have to try to understand developer’s code and at the same time doing your best to get a beautiful and outstanding application… with FLEX you guys are working at the same workspace… everything you design is automatically written into code and you can share it with the developer working with you… isn’t it fantastic???…

Let me please show you some examples…

Madrid 3D Virtual Scenario. Geovisualization live!

I used Skyline Software visualization engine to build this scenario. An orthoimage 0,5m resolution and a 30m resolution heights dataset. I found a few models on the internet (creative commons licesed, just for visualization purposes) I modelled a few of them by myself…and I placed them with Terra Explorer Pro.

I connected it to a Database via ARCDSE… Among all featured layers I could find underground stations, information signs,  districts, roads and so on…

After a few ‘fogs’ and ‘shadows’ properties this is what we had… You might use it as a ‘built-in’ scenario you share with your clients or whoever you want…maybe you can save a pre-saved sequence in you desired video format (AVI, MPEG, WMV,…) and if you want to go further, you can always edit it with any Video Editor (the one I prefer is Adobe Premiere in combination with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects–> you can notice I am in love with Adobe)… There are a lot of possibilities, even adding music that has something to do with your scenario… try it!.

Map Services. Life and death of GEOAIM.

We started thinking  about this project on March 2007 after myself and two of my Master’s colleagues noticed we had three different profiles we could combine and build a GIS company… This way GEOAIM gave birth.

A BA Biologist, a BA Environmentalist and a BA Geographer, three GIS and Remote Sensing Master’s degrees (MSc) a Multimedia designer, contacts and lots of hope…

We first developed a GEOTOOL to geolocalize those cranes used to clean high buildings (‘pérgolas’ in spanish), we served them inside a map  and show them to everybody that could be interested in that…

We had a bunch of visits in less than one month!!!. Uau!.

From all over the world!!. Well, from Europe and the USA mainly 🙂

We were awarded with a sponsorship of 30.000 € by the Basque Government  (as one of us was a basque citizen) but we couldnt barely take advantage of it… We split (!) as a result of a personal crisis of one of the members of the company… SHAME!!!… But anyway, it was definitely worth it…

Two of us keep on being friends and there is no place for personal crisis (we are still very young!!!, hahaha) and we could likely start a new project in the future or simply keep on being friends and keeping on sharing a few beers while we watch a rugby game or whatever…

This is the (short) story of a small company that never saw the light but was definitely very interesting as a life experience!… Hey mates, GIS is not just professional stuff, sometimes it’s part of LIFE.
