DTU-2231's Collaborative Pen-on-screen Workflow to be Showcased Across Conference Including Digital Map Gallery and GeoDesign Session; Demonstrations at Booth #2713
Vancouver, WA - July 7, 2010 - The increasing reliance of fully collaborative and streamlined workflows within the GIS industry will be more apparent than ever at the 2010
ESRI International User Conference (UC), taking place July 12-15 at the San Diego Convention Center. Helping to fulfill this demand,
Wacom®, the leading manufacturer of interactive pen technology, will showcase streamlined GIS editing, collaborative and cartographic capabilities with the first HD pen display for GIS professionals, the
DTU-2231. Demonstrations will take place in the Wacom booth, #2713, as well as numerous other locations throughout the conference.
Integration of ArcGIS 10 and the DTU-2231 revolutionizes the way that professionals interact with their GIS data by enhancing geospatial workflows and optimizing efficiency and productivity across the enterprise. Using these solutions, GIS experts, management and technical staff throughout commercial and government businesses may quickly and easily create original content and edit maps, as well as manage, analyze and share geographic information directly on the screen. Agencies such as AMEC, Idaho Department of Water Resources, Chateau Ste. Michelle Wineries and USGS have utilized Wacom technology for
cross-departmental collaborative data production and management of water infrastructure, mapping and modeling regional water rights,
crop management and yield analysis for vineyards, and real-time support for emergency response.
In addition to the Wacom booth, the DTU-2231 may also be seen daily at various locations throughout UC, including:
- ESRI UC Digital Map Gallery: On display at UC 2010, ESRI has developed the first ever Digital Map Gallery that will showcase user-submitted maps. Wacom's DTU-2231 will allow viewers to explore and interact with each digital map document.
