A New Tool For Economic Development Here In Mesa: Aerial Mesa

"Quick Jab" Bill Jabjiniak has been hinting around for months during the early-morning monthly meetings of the City of Mesa Economic Development Advisory Board about refreshing the branding of the city. Jabjiniak, unlike some Mesa city officials, just doesn't verbally jerk-around spurting ideas at these sessions.
Your MesaZona blogger is both thrilled and excited to see AerialMesa.com, a web-based virtual reality tool that uses interactive technology to allow users to explore each of Mesa’s business district’s major assets and employers, new developments and investments, key amenities and development opportunities.

“Our brand refresh combined with this innovative virtual reality tool allows us to effectively promote development opportunities 24/7 to industry executives, site selectors, brokers, and developers in a visually appealing way,” City of Mesa Economic Development Director Bill Jabjiniak said.

The world is not flat. But until now, with maps, we saw it that way. Now experience actionable 360° immersive aerial imagery for mapping, travel, real estate, and more

http://www.aerialsphere.com/

From years of experience combining 3D graphics and aerial photography, AerialSphere developed a methodology to mass capture immersive 360° aerial photos and post process them to match each pixel to it’s longitude and latitude coordinate.That’s important because until we developed our process, 360° aerial photography had dramatically limited utility. Once the latitude and longitude of the pixels in the image are determined the imagery becomes actionable.  It’s possible to integrate Geographic Informations Services (GIS) data into the imagery and locate points of interest, roads, street addresses, schools, churches, parcel data, or any other GIS data within the sphere.Mapmakers, real estate companies, travel and tourism specialists can use our process to enhance their applications.
