GEOG477/777 (Mobile GIS Development) has the honor to invite Dr. Hanan Samet, a Distinguished University Professor of Computer Science at UMD, to give a guest lecture on Monday, 3/12/18 from 11:00-11:50 AM in 1201 LeFrak Hall.
Smartphones connect our physical and virtual environments like no previous technology. They bring vast volumes of information literally to our fingertips, and we carry them everywhere. The way we use our smartphones and interact with the virtual environment is evolving rapidly and unpredictably, as Apple, Google and their competitors continuously develop new operating systems and apps. In this lecture, Professor Samet will explore smartphone trends, rivalries and possibilities, focusing in particular on the latest developments in mapping apps.
