Episode description
Most geospatial data is gathered by satellites and cameras attached to planes, but a new decentralized network is helping amateur drone pilots capture and contribute ultra high resolution data.
In this week's show, we go fly a drone and learn how that data is helping power next generation apps for things like disaster response.
We Meet:
Alec Wilson, COO Spexi
Bill Lakeland, CEO Spexi
