What we learned in Munich
GEOmedia interviews the people shaping the next generation of geospatial workflows.
Explore our conversations from INTERGEO 2026 across Reality Capture, GNSS & Positioning, GeoAI and Digital Twins — from data acquisition to trusted information, connected systems and decision-making.
EXPLORE INTERVIEWS NOW ONLINEFrom technologies to connected geospatial workflows
Across our interviews at INTERGEO 2026, the same transformation appeared repeatedly: value is shifting from acquiring more data towards connecting, understanding and acting on trusted geospatial information.
CAPTURE → POSITION → UNDERSTAND → CONNECT → DECIDE
Start exploring the GEOmedia INTERGEO 2026 interview series
The first interviews and editorial analyses are now online. New conversations will continue to be added as the series develops.
Four technology shifts shaping the geospatial industry
The four themes identified before INTERGEO now become the structure for our post-event interviews, videos and editorial analysis.
Reality Capture
From LiDAR and SLAM to 360° capture, photogrammetry and intelligent 3D workflows.
EXPLORE REALITY CAPTURE →GNSS & Positioning
From precise positioning to integrated optical, GNSS and connected field workflows.
EXPLORE GNSS & POSITIONING →GeoAI
From classification and data fusion to trusted, repeatable and governed AI workflows.
EXPLORE GEOAI →Digital Twins
From 3D representation to accessible, semantic and continuously updated information environments.
EXPLORE DIGITAL TWINS →From faster acquisition to trusted information
INTERGEO showed how Reality Capture is moving beyond individual sensors towards integrated workflows in which speed, accuracy, accessibility and trust in the resulting information increasingly need to work together.

READ ARTICLE →The four questions we brought to Munich
The original Road to INTERGEO series remains the starting point for the post-event coverage.
01 Reality Capture Is Changing →
02 GNSS Moves Beyond Surveying →
03 GeoAI Moves from Experimentation to Geospatial Workflows →
04 Digital Twins Need a Geospatial Foundation →
What happens between the instrument and the decision?
A mobile mapping system combines Reality Capture and positioning. GeoAI extracts meaning from point clouds and imagery. Digital Twins connect and maintain that information over time.
REALITY → CAPTURE → POSITION → CLASSIFY & UNDERSTAND → CONNECT & UPDATE → DECIDE & ACT
