Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M4)

Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) runs demanding GIS, imaging, and annotation workflows on the go for surveys, briefings, and lab notebooks.

Streaming from the future

A team of researchers at Osaka University has created a machine learning system that can virtually remove buildings from a live view, streaming in real-time on a mobile device. This technology can help accelerate the process of urban renewal based on community agreement, reducing conflicts and delays.
