Augview vs GeoView

Augview is an augmented reality application that enables the user to display and visualize infrastructure asset data. It has been developed for field service personnel who require online access to a variety of GIS and asset management systems via the internet. Augview provides traditional GIS map views of the asset data plus an augmented reality mode that displays 3D objects of the networks overlaid over the video stream. Features * 2D map * 3D augmented reality mode * Combines multiple GIS data sets into one map (Data access is based on pre-arranged permission) * Supports ESRI Rest API: MapServer, FeatureServer, ImageServer * Supports Smallworld: GSS * Supports OGC services: WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS * Integrates Digital Elevation Models with ArcGIS ImageServer or OGC WCS * Database interrogation * "Live" attribute and spatial updates (requires “write” permission from the data administrator) * Photo capture with geotagging and association with an asset

Today’s mobile mapping platforms commonly rely on proprietary, off-site, pay-as-you-go platforms and technologies – making it hard for both corporate environments and individuals capturing their own, in-house georeferenced imagery datasets. This does not pose only security concerns, but also involves unnecessary costs and expensive data plans. Moreover, with GeoView it’s you who decide which data to capture, how, where and when. GeoView Mobile app helps users capture and share georeferenced imagery in the field using your iPhone or iPad. Mobile application records and uploads captured recordings to running GeoView Server instance once on-line, enabling you to share captured data with your friends and colleagues or analyse driving, cycling, or walking routes using the statistics recorded with each photo. Once uploaded to GeoView server, data is immediately available for publishing and consuming via GeoView Web Client and GeoView Desktop platforms.
