¡¾Abstract¡¿
In this study, we propose a novel head-mounted display (HMD) design for near-eye light field display which achieves a see-through and wide field of view for augmented reality. In the past years, many optical elements such as half-mirror, beamsplitter, and waveguide were employed for an optical see-through display. We use a transmissive mirror device (TMD) instead of conventional optical elements. A TMD consists of numerous micro-mirrors
and is usually used for real imaging system in the mid-air. We introduce a new method for the TMD plate in order to extend the previous near-eye display to the see-through display.
We achieve a wide field of view and comfortable viewing by creating a point light source with a micro-lens array. Our configuration is very simple and consists of a LCD for the image source, a micro-lens array to provide the light field, and a TMD plate to provide the aerial image in front of the eye. We construct a prototype see-through display including a fabricated HMD. We verify the design of our prototype using simulations and experiments, and further discuss the challenges in building a novel near-eye, see-through display.
This document contains summaries of various papers related to light field displays and imaging. It begins with papers on fog screens and 360 degree projection displays. It then covers additional topics like near-eye light field displays, light field photography, holographic and volumetric displays, and applications of light fields in computer graphics. The document also includes papers summarizing research on using acoustic, electric, and magnetic fields to manipulate particles and create levitated or projected displays in open air.

This digital transformation and enhancements all require the support of new NENA and CRTC standards, along with integration across a variety of data streams.
This presentation will focus on how FME has supported NG911 transformations to date, and how we are positioning FME to support the enhanced capabilities to come. This session will be of interest to emergency services, municipalities and anyone who may be interested to know more about how emergency services are being improved to provide more accurate, localized information in order to improve the speed and relevance of emergency response and ultimately save more lives and provide better outcomes for those in need.
Integration of Utility Data into 3D BIM Models Using a 3D Solids Modeling Wor...Safe Software
?
Jacobs has developed a 3D utility solids modelling workflow to improve the integration of utility data into 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) environments. This workflow, a collaborative effort between the New Zealand Geospatial Team and the Australian Data Capture Team, employs FME to convert 2D utility data into detailed 3D representations, supporting enhanced spatial analysis and clash detection.
To enable the automation of this process, Jacobs has also developed a survey data standard that standardizes the capture of existing utilities. This standard ensures consistency in data collection, forming the foundation for the subsequent automated validation and modelling steps. The workflow begins with the acquisition of utility survey data, including attributes such as location, depth, diameter, and material of utility assets like pipes and manholes. This data is validated through a custom-built tool that ensures completeness and logical consistency, including checks for proper connectivity between network components. Following validation, the data is processed using an automated modelling tool to generate 3D solids from 2D geometric representations. These solids are then integrated into BIM models to facilitate compatibility with 3D workflows and enable detailed spatial analyses.
The workflow contributes to improved spatial understanding by visualizing the relationships between utilities and other infrastructure elements. The automation of validation and modeling processes ensures consistent and accurate outputs, minimizing errors and increasing workflow efficiency.
This methodology highlights the application of FME in addressing challenges associated with geospatial data transformation and demonstrates its utility in enhancing data integration within BIM frameworks. By enabling accurate 3D representation of utility networks, the workflow supports improved design collaboration and decision-making in complex infrastructure projects

The National Fuels Treatments Initiative (NFT) is transforming wildfire mitigation by creating a standardized map of nationwide fuels treatment locations across all land ownerships in the United States. While existing state and federal systems capture this data in diverse formats, NFT bridges these gaps, delivering the first truly integrated national view. This dataset will be used to measure the implementation of the National Cohesive Wildland Strategy and demonstrate the positive impact of collective investments in hazardous fuels reduction nationwide. In Phase 1, we developed an ETL pipeline template in FME Form, leveraging a schema-agnostic workflow with dynamic feature handling intended for fast roll-out and light maintenance. This was key as the initiative scaled from a few to over fifty contributors nationwide. By directly pulling from agency data stores, oftentimes ArcGIS Feature Services, NFT preserves existing structures, minimizing preparation needs. External mapping tables ensure consistent attribute and domain alignment, while robust change detection processes keep data current and actionable. Now in Phase 2, we¡¯re migrating pipelines to FME Flow to take advantage of advanced scheduling, monitoring dashboards, and automated notifications to streamline operations. Join us to explore how this initiative exemplifies the power of technology, blending FME, ArcGIS Online, and AWS to solve a national business problem with a scalable, automated solution.

Reducing Conflicts and Increasing Safety Along the Cycling Networks of East-F...Safe Software
?
In partnership with the Belgian Province of East-Flanders this project aimed to reduce conflicts and increase safety along a cycling route between the cities of Oudenaarde and Ghent. To achieve this goal, the current cycling network data needed some extra key information, including: Speed limits for segments, Access restrictions for different users (pedestrians, cyclists, motor vehicles, etc.), Priority rules at intersections. Using a 360¡ã camera and GPS mounted on a measuring bicycle, we collected images of traffic signs and ground markings along the cycling lanes building up mobile mapping data. Image recognition technologies identified the road signs, creating a dataset with their locations and codes. The data processing entailed three FME workspaces. These included identifying valid intersections with other networks (e.g., roads, railways), creating a topological network between segments and intersections and linking road signs to segments and intersections based on proximity and orientation. Additional features, such as speed zones, inheritance of speed and access to neighbouring segments were also implemented to further enhance the data. The final results were visualized in ArcGIS, enabling analysis for the end users. The project provided them with key insights, including statistics on accessible road segments, speed limits, and intersection priorities. These will make the cycling paths more safe and uniform, by reducing conflicts between users.
