1. The number one complaint that I hear is that you need a separate software package for every scanner.
2. Is the OGC a possible model for making this happen?
3. Will the scanner manufacturers support this?

1. The OGC is sponsoring a one day summit on 3D at MIT on June 23, 2009.
2. A number of the major software players are on the agenda, as well as practicing professionals.
3. Yours truly will present the case for including laser scanning in the planning.

1. The new Steve Winwood/Eric Clapton Live Concert DVD is a must buy.
2. CityGML has 5 levels of detail well defined for 3D cities.
3. We need to document the early digital cities success stories in terms of ROI.

1. This could be the most important market opportunity for 3D laser scanning.
2. The OGC and ISO have developed important database standards.
3. Berlin, Germany and Glasgow, Scotland are excellent examples.
