Excited to share that the @pixel8earth is joining @Snapchat to help build the world in 3D for Maps and AR. Really appreciate all the support from many Twitter friends helping us along the way. Couldn't be more thrilled to join the fabulous team at Snap. link.medium.com/O8v1i2n6Lfb

It has been exciting getting the first group of @pixel8earth ambassador's on the platform. We've really enjoyed being able to virtually travel to new places via 3D models. Wanted to share a particularly cool model of the Roman Colosseum explore.pixel8.earth/colosse… from Federico.

New blog post on adding an aerial photo pipeline to @pixel8earth for drone, airplane or satellite imagery. We'll need to support all the cameras to create an open 3D map of the world. #DigitalTwins #AugmentedReality pixel8earth.medium.com/build…

Happy to have carved out some time to help push support for #pointclouds in #STAC forward during the #stacsprint6. @pixel8earth added a pointcloud extension to pystac and made a catalog of USGS 3DEP Lidar ept datasets: https://3dep-stac.s3-us-west-

Been raining a lot here in the Colorado Mountains. Enough to make our river spike and produce some great late season surf.

Can't wait to start opening up the @pixel8earth platform for others to use. Finding a lot of joy in creating pointclouds of my house and little mountain town.

Here is an interesting cut of the #BLM mural in DC from our new UI still on staging. Digging the psychedelic colors when you visualize the SfM partitions.

The @pixel8earth team has been cranking on productizing our reality capture pipelines as a self service application. Wanted to share a quick preview of the end-to-end workflow. Upload your video and get a high accuracy georeferenced point cloud back.

The @pixel8earth team's latest experiment to see if we can compute real world spatial coordinates for every pixel in standard mobile phone photo. medium.com/@pixel8earth/geos…. I'm highly biased but the potential of this at scale is fun to think about.

Psyched to share the results of the @pixel8earth experiment mapping Downtown Boulder in 3D - pixel8.earth/. The data is available in @pointcloudpipe .ept and @CesiumJS 3D tiles as well as interactive maps you can explore.

In conjunction with our talk at @AnalyzeBoulder tonight we've also written up the rationale for @pixel8earth and the problem we are looking to solve in "The Once and Future 3D Map" link.medium.com/wWNe5TKhIZ
