Every week, we highlight stories from friends around the internet that put a spotlight on the latest from within the geospatial, advanced visualization, and AEC industries. These stories can take many different forms, whether they be about a new innovation or workflow, an interesting and/or unique use case for technology, or a higher-level look at the state of the sector. Today, we look at some new technologies that were on display at Geo Week 2025, what needs to change in the reality capture industry, and insights from leaders within the geospatial sector.

What Needs to Change in the Reality Capture Industry?
Leica Geosystems
Here we have a hybrid article/video, with insights coming from Chris Kercheval of The Committee. As the conversation notes, reality capture is a growing sector with so much potential already being shown across many different industries. However, that rapid growth comes with issues around how standardization and regulations come. Kercheval calls it the “Wild West,” and says that right now the industry is “self-regulating.” The article looks at what his group is doing to help bring the necessary changes to help reality capture blossom to its full potential.
