Green Cat Renewables improve quality and reduce time by assessing the visual impact of renewable projects using VentusAR Green Cat Renewables have been developing and building renewable projects in Scotland since 2005. Based across Scotland with a 70 strong dedicated team providing a flexible range of support services to renewable energy developers throughout entire projects,
Over the last week, I’ve have done a few demo’s of our VentusAR product to a variety of different people. Quite often I end up doing these demo’s in places where there is no Wi-Fi, so I need some other way of connecting the iPad to a big screen. Sure, I could use a lightning
Yesterday (2 July 2015) the ClimateXChange group published the results from a 2-year study into wind farm planning documentation. Specifically the report was designed to determine whether the “visual [and other] impacts predicted by wind farm developers in documentation submitted with their planning applications are consistent with the impacts experienced once the wind farm is
Or “How does the media used to convey a planned onshore wind development affect the understanding and belief in the visual representation?” Background As is well known (in the UK at least) the visual impact assessment (VIA) component of the environmental statement is a critical component in planning for development, especially so in onshore wind.
Press Release Valid 00:01 April 1 2015 to 11:59am April 1 2015 New guidance for the visualisation of wind farms development understands that “stakeholder engagement is extremely important” and recognises that new developments have “considerable scope” for use as techniques are developed and presented. In support of this guidance, Linknode today announced that development of
Sorry, this post isn’t about your phone or tablets bad attitude and the way it doesn’t let you do what you want. Instead, this post is about how we at TrueViewVisuals use the sensors built into your device to understand the direction it is orientated to and how that can be used to do interesting
As part of our testing process leading up to a release, we always take all the devices out on-site and check that everything lines up correctly. This time, this included the new iPad Air 2 that we are going to start supporting from version 2.1 onwards. I was out yesterday at Craigengelt hill in Stirlingshire.
We are pleased to announce the release of VentusAR v2.1 for Android, iPad (and associated portal updates). This is a significant upgrade, allowing cumulative data to be purchased and used from our National Cumulative Dataset. This dataset contains information sourced from local authorities about the status of wind turbine planning applications. We recommend updating the
With all the new innovations going into new tablet hardware, we run new devices through a series of tests before we say that it is a supported tablet for VentusAR. There are several stages to this: we mount it on a tripod and check that everything from the 3D world is correct size according to the
The UK’s first on-line service to search and report on the cumulative visual impact of onshore wind turbines has been developed by Linknode. Launched at RenewableUK 2014 in Manchester on 11 November, this new data service can cut the time taken for assessments from ‘weeks to minutes’, slashing costs for wind farm developers, local communities
