PlaNetwork
For the June, 2003 PlaNetwork Conference in San Francisco, BFI put together a panel of presenters under the heading of "Geo-Storytelling." It was not only an opportunity to demonstrate EARTHscope, but also a perfect way to explore collaboration with our co-panelists, Ben Discoe and Todd Helt:

  • Ben Discoe, of the Virtual Terrain Project, has created a robust, open source 3-D terrain modeling program which contains a 3-D satellite globe featuring NASA's latest satellite imagery that seamlessly transforms into the Fuller Projection.
  • Todd Helt, a founder of Telemorphic, presented his Maplicity software, a browser-based solution that allows users to perform real-time interactive map analysis and visualization via the Internet.
