Forterra OLIVE Featured on TV Show NCIS - here it is!
Forterra Systems OLIVE virtual world platform was featured on episode 22 of NCIS a few months ago. We cant get the full episode yet here in the UK but I found this uploaded version (below).
At the very beginning you can see the camera zoom through OLIVE showing a California city which then morphs to a live view on the ground. The imagery is from Pictometry and was developed by Lockheed Martin, Forterra clients and developers.
Forterra are leading the pack when it comes to realistic terrain capabilities and have one of the ONLY geospatially accurate virtual worlds which enable these types of mirror world applications. It's great to see it in prime time!
If the clip below stutters, let it play for a bit to buffer with the audio off, then restart.

A better Mobile AR Video Demo
I got a new low cost video grabber to take video direct from my Nokia n95 to laptop for video recording.
Here's my first experiment with it. Video quality is much better than filming the phone itself (previous post).
I used a small camera tripod for the phone.

Our Mobile Augmented Reality Demonstrator
I recorded this video today of our mobile AR demonstrator as many people have been asking for it. I am getting a better video capture card to take the feed directly from the phone so the next version should be easier on the eyes and ears!
Current projects under development include brand marketing and cultural heritage. We've explored some interesting projects involving embedding AR images into optics for industrial and military apps but those are still in the idea stages.
Comments and project inquiries welcome!
