Last Thursday around half past six in the evening. Striking many Geo-scientist found the way to the Spitalgasse in Bern. The reason was the 26th GeoBeer event taking place at ImpactHub<\/a>.
GeoBeer<\/a> is a quarterly meeting of people interested in geography, GIS, cartography and the latest technologies. It’s hosted every time by someone else. This time by us, OPENGIS.ch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right after the arriving, the organizers of GeoBeer Switzerland showed us some funny statistics about the GeoBeer participants since the very first GeoBeer event six years ago.
Marco Bernasocchi then welcomed everyone and introduced our company. We had three speakers this time. Marcus Hudritsch<\/a> of the Berner Fachhochschule<\/a> started by presenting the implementation of the visualization of historical buildings, that do not exist anymore in reality. But still, do in virtual reality\u2026 No sorry, it’s augmented reality. Marcus Hundritsch explained to us clearly the difference between AR and VR and presented some projects they made. Pascal Bourquin<\/a> changed perspective completely by telling us about his project (La Vie en Jaune) to cover all the hiking trails of Switzerland – he logs every trail done on a map with photographs<\/a>. The final speaker was Daniele Vigan\u00f2<\/a> from the Global Earthquake Model Foundation<\/a> talking about their challenges of calculating a global model of earthquake hazard, risk and<\/g> exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
