Where are we? Where are we going?
Far behind in time we have left the
days when cartographers drew map
reports of travelers and for areas not
known the phrase “Terra Incógnita”
was written.

Vision and Creation
In a map we can see the past, the
present and the future… .

Visionary
Having or showing clear ideas about
what should happen or be done in
the future. Having or showing a
powerful imagination. A person that
by knowledge, experience and
practice establishes the foundation
to create, or creates, the future.

The Spatial Enabling of Information
Foundation for the Science of Where
The process of designing, developing, and
implementing solutions that integrate geospatial,
information and communication technologies that
seek to optimize workflows and reduce operating
costs by leveraging “where knowledge” in an
innovative way is called “the spatial enabling of
information”.

UVS - Robotics
“Smart Machines”
This era will be the most disruptive in the history of
IT by the proliferation of:
� contextually aware, intelligent personal
assistants (voice/brain-wave driven)
� smart advisors (e.g., IBM Watson)
� advanced global industrial systems
� autonomous vehicles

Augmented Reality
What is reality?
The Real World as an Operating System The future of computing
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Albert Einstein

GIS – Geography
“The Science of Where”• It all happens somewhere.
• The n-dimensional spatial domain is a topologically and geometrically integrating and convergent domain. The “ultimate
container”.
• Where you are affects where you are… and where you will be: law of gravity.
Say what!?

GIS - I for Imagination
“If you want your children to
be intelligent, read them fairy
tales. If you want them to be
more intelligent, read them
more fairy tales.”
“Logic will get you from A to Z;
imagination will get you everywhere.”
