Speaker: Dmitri Bagh, Scenario Creation Analyst, Safe Software

Abstract:Augmented Reality (AR) is revolutionizing how utility data is accessed and visualized. In this session, we’ll explore how FME Flow AR can empower GIS professionals to transform and publish data for real-time, location-based AR experiences. I’ll show how to create seamless workflows for visualizing underground and above-ground infrastructure, integrating real-time updates from utility systems, and delivering the latest information directly to field crews via mobile devices.

I’ll also demonstrate how to extend AR functionality with custom WebView integrations, showcasing the ability to embed live sensor data, static web pages like videos or 3D models, 2D maps, and API-driven connections to systems like Cityworks. This two-way integration allows field crews not only to access the most current data but also to update central databases directly from the field. As a beta program, FME Flow AR represents Safe Software’s ongoing commitment to innovation, offering a glimpse into the future of GIS and utilities management.

Bio: Dmitri has worked as Safe Software’s Scenario Creation Analyst since January 2005. An FME expert, his role is to research and develop new ways that FME can be implemented to improve processes in different industries. Dmitri graduated with a M.Sc. in Geography from the Saint Petersburg State University.
