Workshop on sheet metal forming / Time travel by Google Earth / Houses with solar panels in Japan / Interactive multimedia guide for tourists in Bilbao.

Next Wednesday, the
26th, there will be a workshop or workshop on sheet forming technologies at the Aldia Innovation Pole, organized by Mondragon University and Tecnalia Automotive. It will show the industry the most advanced technologies available for metal modeling, such as hydroforming, laser forming, electromagnetic forming, hot stamping, intelligent forming and many other techniques. Those who attend the workshop will also have the opportunity to see the applications of all of them.

Google Earth, which until now
was known for providing map service using 3-dimensional satellite imagery, has now begun to offer a new option: it allows time travel backwards. The trip to Ancient Rome is possible, even if it is virtually. So if you want you can go to the Imperial Forum and enter the Basilica of Giulia, or go to the Circus Maximus and imagine Ben Hur... but

it is not the archaeology that we will find there. it is a historical recreation of Rome in 3 dimensions, based on the virtual architecture created by North American and Italian experts to create it. According to Google, it can be as enriching as a real trip to Italy.

Houses with solar panels This
is the Japanese city of JaponenOta, located 80 km from Tokyo. There, more than 550 households have received free solar panels from the government as part of a project to prevent power outages from occurring using solar power sources in the community.

In these homes, all electrical applications are powered by solar energy. And, in case of any surplus, they have the possibility to sell this electricity to their electric company. Proiektu honek, hortaz, eguzki-panelak dituzten etxe pribatuetako elektrizitate-soberakinaren arazo tekniko asko konpontzeko ere balio izan du.

Interactive multimedia guide for tourists
in BilbaoLast month a new experience was launched in Bilbao. The tourists who stayed at the Hotel Dómine had at their disposal an interactive multimedia guide to walk through Bilbao. The guide has a GPS and the tourist can organize their routes as they wish, always with access to a lot of information about the city: cultural agenda, where to shop, pharmacies, restaurants, interesting routes... The companies that have created the guide K 2000 and Úbiqa have expressed their satisfaction with the result and their intention to make it available to tourists again in the future.
