Sometimes, performance gains cause the feeling of embarrassment. I made my #pointcloud-based viewshed analysis 50 times faster by replacing two transformers in my #FME workspace. I keep asking myself where my 🧠was all these year 🤨

I am sure there will be a lot of interesting ideas how to use custom parameter dialogs in workspaces and custom transformers in #FME:23 and on. Conditional Visibility is probably my favourite part of the upcoming FME release.

A remake of our #AugmentedReality Bus Shelter scenario, this time with @MagicLeap and Sphere XR. With a headset, it's a lot more immersive experience (I really wanted to sit on the bench - watch me trying). But the recording for later use is still better with a phone #AR.

Guess who won FME Data Integration step challenge 2023! I walked 610,695 steps in April. Here are three photos of my daily hikes, which also gave me, according to my Fitbit, 6900 floors climbed (230 per day on average).

With PyEphem and a little help from #ChatGPT, I created an #FME workspace where SurfaceFootprintReplacer makes accurate shadows using datetime and location. Look how much of a difference this makes to an #AugmentedReality model! I should add this to all my #AR workspaces.

With this X-Former, we create shadows not only for #AR as shown in my last post. We can see how shadows move during the day around an object (this won't work in densely built-up areas, but I am checking whether we can do something about it). #FME+PyEphem hub.safe.com/publishers/saf…

Viewing city utilities with Magic Leap? Yes, it's possible! Using FME Data Integration #FME and Sphere XR, we can create #AugmentedReality experience from any data including regular GIS or CAD. The next step for me is to see how we can add some interactivity with Sphere's workflows.

I am preparing a Sphere XR - FME Data Integration demo for my colleagues, and I must say, working with computer screens and Magic Leap at the same time during a call with myself feels a bit whovian. #Daleks come to mind.

Me telling everyone: "If you think you need a loop in #FME you are almost certainly wrong". Also me in the last few days:

If wonder how I use all those loops from my previous tweet, check this video - an #FME custom transformer to make creation and styling HTML tables easy. I had some exhaustive dialogs with ChatGPT to get all the color calculations right. Would you find this CT useful in your work?

I wonder how often FME Data Integration #FME users practice this kind of black magic - transform data without touching it. Let me know if you do! Or don't.

Did you like my last Black Magic tweet? Here's one more. Making the output 6 times smaller and still not touching the data. Can you see how I do it? When #FME prepares #AugmentedReality models for streaming to field workers on the fly, we value every second saved. FME Data Integration

I am so excited about this. With #FME, I (or anybody) can take a cloud-based XML file (e.g. Autodesk Build) describing some workflow, turn it into Sphere XR workflow, put on a Magic Leap headset and follow the steps. Better demos are coming (really wanted to share now).

Mixed feelings - it looks like my regular exercises with regular expressions are over. I kind of liked those puzzle-solving 🧠teasers. But why bother when there is an #FME AI Assist ready to help? On the other hand, now I spend no time on this.

As you can see I am really busy at #AugmentedEnterprise in Houston protecting our planet from alien invasion. And also taking about data integration because all those headsets need data, right?

I posted two #FME and Sphere XR with integration videos in a LinkedIn post linkedin.com/pulse/fme-sphe…. Tomorrow is the last day of the #AugmentedEnterprise Summit where I show these #AugmentedReality/Magic Leap integration demos live.

Instead of searching for images all over the web, I tried to use #ChatGPT for creating prompts based on my erratic thoughts, and submit them to #Dalle for texturing objects in #FME. Now we can create the whole neighborhoods with homes of unique designs but matching styles😃

Turning #FME error messages into audio messages delivered to a Slack channel with #OpenAI API is yet another example of FME Data Integration integrations. This can be quite useful with triggered FME Flow translations. I love how easy we can do it.
