I would really like to get my georeferenced CityEngine scenes exported to a format that can be consumed by an Augmented Reality viewer for viewing models on-site with GPS. There are currently a couple of software platforms that allow you to do this in the 3D & CAD space - one example is AR-Media and their AR Plugin which is available in a number of 3D design software packages: http://www.armedia.it/armedia_products.php Having something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5_xjDbrbR4 available from CityEngine would open up the software to a whole new world of opportunities (if it's not already available via a convoluted workflow). I would like to request either: 1) another export option for CityEngine (*.armedia) 2) A blog post or tutorial about how to go about doing this in alternative software package 3) Someone to demo this end-to-end workflow at the 2013 DevSummit Thanks ...

Currently i have uploaded KML, CSV and Shapefile data to ArcGIS.com.  However, the only file type from 'My Content' that i can add to the map via the 'Add Data' tool is the KML file. I would like the ability to add my uploaded CSV and Shapefiles also. ... View more

Better responsiveness of mobile JavaScript API apps. Some commonly used geometric operations could be written in JavaScript and used in an HTML5 web worker process.  This could be very useful for mobile web apps by reducing slow http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/web-workers-rise-up/"king mobile apps more responsive.  These could be created as a seperate set of widgets which can be requested on a 'per geometric operation' basis by apps which use the JavaScript API compact build, thus keeping the http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/web-workers-rise-up/"tline the web worker process: http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/web-workers-rise-up/ http://www.sitepoint.com/javascript-threading-html5-web-workers/ http://www.sitepoint.com/javascript-large-data-processing/ http://www.sitepoint.com/javascript-shared-web-workers-html5/ A typical example could be the buffer operation: 1) User clicks a point and wants to perform a search for all related locations within 1km. 2) Instead of creating a 1km buffer via the geometry service and waiting for the polygon to be sent back in a response, the app could create the buffer itself thus eliminating the HTTP request for this step. 3) The resulting buffer is then used to query either graphics on the map or a REST query for a map service. The above workflow would reduce the need for a 'synchronous' request to the Geometry Service and (depending on the level of connectivity) could result in a much more responsive process. ... View more
