@Billfgreer @SeanGorman @pixel8earth @Snapchat Someone once said “laser focus” but that was bullshit

Excited to share that the @pixel8earth is joining @Snapchat to help build the world in 3D for Maps and AR. Really appreciate all the support from many Twitter friends helping us along the way. Couldn't be more thrilled to join the fabulous team at Snap. link.medium.com/O8v1i2n6Lfb

@andreitr @SeanGorman @pixel8earth @Snapchat Thanks! It’s so much fun working on this stuff

@SeanGorman @pixel8earth @Snapchat Oh, and congrats @cwhelm and the rest of the team! You guys have consistently built badass products with perfect market fit. So gagster!

Snap has acquired Pixel8earth, a 3D mapping developer, for $7.6M tcrn.ch/3gFWHx6 by @ingridlunden

It has been exciting getting the first group of @pixel8earth ambassador's on the platform. We've really enjoyed being able to virtually travel to new places via 3D models. Wanted to share a particularly cool model of the Roman Colosseum explore.pixel8.earth/colosseum from Federico.

New blog post on adding an aerial photo pipeline to @pixel8earth for drone, airplane or satellite imagery. We'll need to support all the cameras to create an open 3D map of the world. #DigitalTwins #AugmentedReality pixel8earth.medium.com/building-a-pix…

@SeanGorman crucial skill

At some point I realized my most useful technical contribution was QA

@crosbycj @jm_le_roux @pixel8earth Yes indeed. Thanks.

@jm_le_roux @cwhelm @pixel8earth I believe it should be: 3dep-stac.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/catalog.json

Happy to have carved out some time to help push support for #pointclouds in #STAC forward during the #stacsprint6. @pixel8earth added a pointcloud extension to pystac and made a catalog of USGS 3DEP Lidar ept datasets: https://3dep-stac.s3-us-west- 2.amazonaws.com/catalog.json

@jm_le_roux @pixel8earth Ahh yes. I can fix

@SeanGorman @FreshyMap i miss frehymap everyday

Subsequently they teamed up for the super cool @FreshyMap combining weather forecasts, statistics, awesome UI/UX and visualization.

Being the least technical person on the @pixel8earth team I end up doing a lot of the external communications and tweeting. As a result you don’t hear a lot about the people doing the real work @winrox86, @cwhelm and @pramukta.

@iandees @pixel8earth Not yet. Some of our customers were given access to the platform, but there are still some things we need to solve.

Can't wait to start opening up the @pixel8earth platform for others to use. Finding a lot of joy in creating pointclouds of my house and little mountain town.

Been raining a lot here in the Colorado Mountains. Enough to make our river spike and produce some great late season surf.

@gavinrehkemper @pixel8earth I'll share a pic of it next time I'm out collecting, but let's just say its not very "cool" looking and i get some funny looks. It's literally gopro mounted on a kayaking helmet, that's all.

@cwhelm @pixel8earth very cool. What does the hardware rig on your bike look like?

A couple shots of downtown Salida from a video i collected on my bike. Mapping the entire town via @pixel8earth.

@PetersonGIS @pixel8earth pixel ate nine

@cwhelm @pixel8earth Heh, now I get it, pixelate. Clever. (At first, I swear, I thought of the old "because 7 ate 9" joke.)

@jamesmfee @pixel8earth From a 55 second video too!

@jqtrde @pixel8earth We'll have a beta sign up for you soon

@cwhelm @pixel8earth where do i sign up

Seriously, just cancel sports.
