Dr. Nadine Alameh is the CEO of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) – a collective problem-solving body convening the global community of geospatial experts and users to make Location information Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) via open consensus-based standards, collaborative innovation projects, and industry partnerships.

Dr. Alameh is a recognized leader in creating and applying open geospatial/mapping standards in a multiple of domains including Aviation, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Earth Observations, Public Safety and Defense. She believes that building the metaverse is no different than any of these other established domains that she has served to-date, and is motivated to contribute to building the metaverse based on the same open and interoperability principles.

In this episode, you’ll learn about how geospatial data can help accelerate building a metaverse that is as useful for entertainment. Blurring the lines between reality and synthetic data to create 4D fully immersive simulation environments can unlock the unlimited creativity and entrepreneurship ideas in the metaverse.
