Minetest is a Free and Open Source Software clone of the popular Minecraft voxel-based sandbox video game. Game engines are a logical entry point into a metaverse because they provide the basis for simulating real-world environments including processes such as Sun position, lighting, shading, atmosphere, clouds, weather, gravity, and vegetation growth among many other processes. ![]() There are a wide-range of unexplored applications for an educational metaverse such as virtual field trips, creative sandbox play, and exploration-based learning. The metaverse is a proposed next evolution of the internet, involving the creation of “digital twin” environments that are virtual representations of the real world where people can interact in virtual reality. He teaches GIS in several undergraduate and graduate programs and leads the development of immersive virtual reality, augmented reality, and web-based mapping applications for teaching GIS at UBC. Paul Pickell is an Assistant Professor of Teaching of geomatics at the UBC Faculty of Forestry. 9:40 am – 9:50 am Q&A 9:50 am – 10:00 am Break 10:00 am – 10:20 am Teaching GIS with video games in immersive digital twin worlds Some of the benefits of this solution include increased staff focus on other value-added services, no risk of legislative requirements not being met by delays in getting the underground information packages to clients on time, and enhanced customer benefits by quicker (almost immediate) receipt of the underground information packages. In the past it could take hours or days to get the packages, with the new automated process, it is down to about three minutes! Using the data integration software called FME Server, the GIS team was able to meet this demand with an automated “BC One Call” system by extracting information from our GIS and Asset Management Systems. This increase in demand resulted in a longer than desired turnaround time for the underground information packages. By 2017, the volume of information package requests made to the City of Burnaby had increased to 8,469! That’s an increase of over 6,000% in 23 years. For example, in 1994 the City of Burnaby had 140 information package requests for the year. An increase of development within the lower mainland had overloaded City staff and increased the timelines of supplying underground information package to our clients. Bound by provincial legislation, the city then has three business days to turnaround an underground information package to the homeowner or contractor. The total number of requests received throughout the entire year in 1994 was 140, compared to a record number of 102 received in a single day on June 7, 2018. 9:20 am – 9:40 am Automated “Dial Before You Dig” (BC1C)Īs the third largest city in British Columbia, Canada, the City of Burnaby has experienced exponential growth in the past two decades. Unique to the ICI Society model is its commitment to collaboration focused relationship-building, opportunities for education and training, and a granting program for members to perform data quality improvements have been key to the Society’s widespread success over the last two decades. As a single source for data from multiple agencies, the Society continues to keep members connected, supplied, and engaged with data products and services that align with ICI Society’s vision. Incorporated in May 2001 and registered under the BC Societies Act as a non-profit organization, the Society works to integrate spatial data from its 309 members across the province – which include 184 local governments, 75 First Nations, 12 utility companies, 15 Associate members, and all provincial government ministries. In addition to data sharing, ICI Society works to facilitate opportunities for training, education, and collaboration across government, industry, and other interested organizations. The Integrated Cadastral Information Society (ICI Society) is a leader in sharing geospatial information, promoting the integration, adoption, and use of spatial data for the social and economic benefit of British Columbians. Their presentation is about the benefits of sharing geospatial data across different organizations, offering insights into the Society’s unique collaborative model. Steve Mark is Director of Operations, and Eden McDonald-Yale is Stakeholder Engagement Coordinator at Integrated Cadastral Information Society (ICIS).
