GeoImaging and the LARA project coordinator presented LARA project at the “Satellite solutions for smarter islands” organized by Eurisy in Malta on the November12, 2015. Our project coordinator introduced at the exhibition stands pitches to an audience of public administration officials and industry stakeholders the potential of the LARA system under development. LARA’s presentation was accompanied by a poster and the promotional video of LARA

The 3rd LARA project meeting took place in Seville the 15th &16th of October 2015 organized by the local project partners ISOIN and Hewlett Packard. During the 2 days meeting, LARA partners had the chance to review the status of the implementation plan drawn in Birmingham meeting and perform a live demonstration of the capabilities of the project prototype 0,5. This mini exercise employed all aspects of the LARA system and gave the opportunity to the consortium to make an overall assessment of the development for the launch of the first prototype in the end of January 2016.

LARA project will participate in and act as a communication sponsor to the event titled “Satellite solutions for smarter islands” which will be organized by Eurisy in Malta November, 2015. This conference will discuss how island economies can leverage Europe’s investments in satellite services to boost their economy and live up to current environmental and socio-economic challenges. LARA consortium, led by GeoImaging Ltd which is based in Cyprus, one of Mediterranean’s biggest islands, will support this Eurisy event by acting as a communication sponsor. Join us in Malta and discover more on how to benefit from satellite services in the local economy

LARA project concluded successfully its second meeting that took place the 21st and 22nd of May 2015 in Birmingham, UK. This milestone meeting confirmed the ending of the architecture design for LARA system and signaled the beginning of the implementation on all basic technological challenges. During the meeting all partners discussed progress on the ongoing deliverables of WP2 that attempts to specify in details the overall system architecture and user requirements. Moreover, the consortium drew a precise implementation chart towards faster integration of the different modules that will lead to an additional prototype named LARA prototype v. 0, 5 well in advance before the official release of LARA v.10.

Project LARA that kicked – off February 2015 is organizing the second project meeting 21 & 22 May 2015 in Birmingham, UK. During the meeting in Birmingham a validation workshop will be launched where real end-users from the gas utility company, the electric utility company and the national grid and water public company will be called to validate the LARA usage scenarios under development.

Project LARA, “LBS Augmented Reality Assistive System for Utilities Infrastructure Management through Galileo and EGNOS”, kicked – off February the 10th 2015 in Prague, Czech Republic at the premises of the European GNSS Agency. The nine partner international consortium, led by the Cypriot SME GeoImaging Ltd, will develop in the next 24 months a mobile device to assist the utility management professionals on the field. The hand-held, low cost, mobile device will integrate state-of-the-art technologies in the domain of positioning and sensors (GNSS), Augmented Reality (AR), 3D GIS geodatabases. The LARA system will guide utility field workers by helping them ‘see’ beneath the ground, rendering the complexity of the 3D models of the underground grid such as water, gas and electricity.
