Several technical studies have been undertaken in the OGC Innovation Programme and their results published online. These demonstrate successful application of WebVMT to real-world problems and help to ensure alignment of its web-based design with geospatial standards such as OGC GeoPose and Moving Features. Focus has shifted from 'where we are' to 'where we are looking' and the scope has widened to include sensors and data aggregation, while maintaining a simple accessible approach.
Smartphone footage recorded on a sailing boat was aggregated with maritime traffic data to improve tracking accuracy.
Aerial observation video was made easier to interpret by rotating the map to match the camera's perspective.
Roadside video footage was recorded with WebVMT to analyse traffic movement and identify wrong-way vehicles from geotagged video in a web browser.
Video and LiDAR data from Ordnance Survey's self-driving research vehicle were used to track nearby moving objects, including a cyclist, with WebVMT in a web browser.
