Title:     "3D Visualization...Millions of lines of code! Now, what to do with it?"

Bio:     

With 29 years of experience visualizing everything from accident reconstruction to medical procedures, Eminent Domain and right-of-way cases, 100’s of miles of roadways, transmission tower construction and accident litigation, he has certainly had some engaging experiences across North America and Europe. He has an incredible amount of expertise in understanding disparate industries and efficiently educating individuals, jurors, and gymnasiums full of people concerning patents, drug methods of action, and 20-mile transportation corridor impacts. As an expert witness, having to digest seemingly endless PDFs, the ability to teach at a critical thinking level has been a daily task of his.

Specific to DFW, he worked at Halff Associates (Richardson, TX) for almost 15 years (until 2017), traveling to every corner of the State of Texas to provide visualizations that dynamically engaged people from all walks of life, including for the TX Attorney General’s office – Transportation Division, specifically Eminent Domain.

Passive visualizations are still compelling, but there are a lot of new technologies that are stealing the spotlight. Active visualizations have since taken center stage due to the ability for the individual to take control of their viewshed at any time. AR or Augmented Reality and MR or Mixed Reality are gaining traction in many industries.
