Impressed with how Auckland University geologists have been using Nextspace’s 3D visualisation technology to advance their understanding of earthquakes, the Australian Government Office of Spatial Data Management asked the company join their ceBIT exhibit.
Yesterday RelaxNews International ran a story ”3D city visualization technology helps mitigate earthquake risks: CeBIT Australia” highlighting some of the technologies Nextspace would be showcasing at the CeBIT exhibit.
“To demonstrate its advanced visualization technology, Nextspace will “model the magnitude, place and time of the hundreds of earthquakes that shook Christchurch from September 2010 until early May of this year.”
The company will also example how real-time streaming of vast 3D urban models can be used by Sydney’s Emergency Response Unit to enhance people’s understanding of disasters such as bushfires, floods, earthquakes and acts of terrorism whilst also informing emergency services of optimal emergency access routes or potential risks and hazards during a crisis situation”

The Digital Technologies Symposium took place in Mangere, Auckland in mid-November. The Symposium was staged and sponsored in a partnership by the Ministry of Education, Cognition Education, and industry companies including Nextspace, Cisco, HP, Microsoft, NatColl, Renaissance and Toshiba, and additional support from Ace Computer Training, Datacom, Dreamcatcher, Instant Education Solutions, Kiwibots, and MIT.
This Symposium has been a close collaboration with the Ministry and Cognition, with advice from the subject matter teachers association, NZACDITT. The objective was to preview the new Digital Technology Curriculum that will be implemented first with Year 11, and provide teachers with useful material to assist with the new five strands, Computing & Programming, Digital Information, Digital Infrastructure, Digital Media, and Electronics.
Nextspace sponsored three prizes (a copy of Right Hemisphere’s Deep Exploration software plus training) – below are the winners:
Neil Leslie – Onslow College
Gerard McManus – Papatoetoe High School
Vilna Gough-Jones – Burnside High School
A gathering of Auckland business and local government leaders has been shown how readily available 3D geospatial technologies could create a spatial plan for Auckland that addresses the city’s growth challenges, engages communities and brings value to the national economy.

Auckland 3-D software firm Nextspace is out to cash in on growing interest from businesses in Apple’s iPad. Nextspace has developed an iPad application that lets users view and interact with 3-D models of buildings, infrastructure, assets such as vehicles and aircraft, and environments.
Auckland 3D software firm Right Hemisphere says a win in its partnership with SAP will increase its exposure to customers of the enterprise software giant “a hundredfold”…. Nextspace’s “visual city” solution could see cities and all their infrastructure and assets managed and understood through 3-D models.
New Zealand’s first Microsoft cloud rendering solution was unveiled today by three leading Kiwi companies at the Windows Azure Platform Launch in Auckland. InterGrid and Nextspace have developed a solution that significantly reduces the time for designers to render high-quality photorealistic images. The “Green Button” plug-in allows users of Right Hemisphere’s Deep Exploration software to send large graphics rendering jobs from their desktop directly to Microsoft’s Windows Azure Platform.
