1. Between 70 and 80 paid to attend yesterday’s Summit at MIT.
2. The major software vendors demonstrated that they can support CityGML today.
3. Google and Factory Mutual were among the participants.

1. The CityGML encoding standard is a rich and valuable road map for building 3D urban geo-databases – kudos to all involved.
2. LiDAR and laser scanning are the most appropriate technology for building out these databases.
3. We can choose to take advantage of this or re-invent the wheel.

1. I have recently had an article published online about The 3D Digital Survey Revolution.
2. Local surveyors have had the opportunity to leverage incredible technological change over the past 40 years.
3. We now have a new opportunity – 3D laser scanning and the 3D fusion revolution.

1. The convergence of BIM, CAD and 3D visualization is the most important driver for the future of our industry.
2. The OGC is sponsoring a 3D Fusion Summit.
3. The key players have an opportunity to get involved with the OGC’s 3DIM Working Group.
