The Baddest Elves of History
John Snow, a pioneering 19th-century epidemiologist, revolutionized public health by using spatial mapping to trace the source of London's 1854 cholera outbreak. His innovative mapping of cholera cases around the Broad Street pump demonstrated the power of geographic analysis, laying the foundation for modern Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Snow’s work continues to influence epidemiology and GIS, showcasing the importance of spatial data in solving real-world challenges.

A Modern Solution for 3D Digital Twin and Augmented Reality
City utility workers can now locate buried assets with unmatched precision using the Bad Elf Flex Extreme GNSS receiver paired with the Pix4Dcatch app. This innovative solution combines centimeter-level GNSS accuracy, real-time 3D scanning, and augmented reality to superimpose GIS data onto live views for efficient field operations. By creating detailed 3D digital twins and enhancing workflows, this technology revolutionizes asset management and infrastructure maintenance.
