Taqtile's HoloMaps Gives HoloLens Users Ability to View, Scale & Draw on 3D Maps

HoloMaps, an application by Seattle-based Taqtile, is available for free on the Windows Store. Taqtile, whose Vice President of Product Management was Microsoft's former Director of Business Development, is one of the few partners currently in the Microsoft HoloLens Agency Readiness Program. This interactive 3D map they have created, powered by Bing, offers more than just a top-down view of the world on the HoloLens.

Presently, HoloMaps has the ability to use various layers of data, such as current traffic flow and conditions, live weather and forecasts, and even geotagged tweets. A 3D pen allows the users in a workspace to draw on these maps, share those changes in real time with each other. Overall, this system appears to help enable a highly collaborative work environment.
