In citrus, virtual reality is used in some types of harvesting research. One more common example is the VR photography in real estate for showing homes to potential buyers. A group of VR photos (combined into a “virtual tour”) give buyers an interactive way to look around a property to see if it suits their tastes. Some of the landscapes you’ve seen from Mars were created this way by NASA.

    Fraternal Order of Police Florida State Lodge 242 Office Plaza, Tallahassee, FL 32301 Ph: (850) 656-9881 • WWW.Floridastate.org November 7, 2012 FLORIDA STATE FOP ELECTION SUMMARY Congratulations to all the Fraternal Order of Police members that put in “Sweat Equity” during these elections. We stayed united with the Unity Table and we have made a huge difference against insurmountable amounts of money. In an attempt at brevity, we will highlight the statewide elections and give you an over-all view of where we are. We should begin at where we started, which was fighting for our lives against big money and a GOP with a 2/3’s majority. The GOP turned their back on law enforcement and took up the cause of our enemies (ALLEC, The Koch Brothers, The Florida Chamber, The National Chamber, The League Of Cities, The Association of Counties, Associated Industries of Florida, The Tea Party). After two years of fighting against them with the UNITY TABLE, we knew that we had to focus our energies and work toward some common goals. 1) Break the 2/3’s majority: We succeeded in both chambers 2) Protect our Court System: We succeeded: The justices were retained and the ballot initiative to give more power to the legislature failed. 3) Protect our state from TABOR: Ballot Initiative 3: We succeeded it failed to pass. 4) Protect our local government tax base: Ballot initiative 4: We succeeded it failed to pass. 5) Support ballot initiatives 2,9, and 11 : We succeeded : They all passed. The Florida Senate The Florida Senate was the only chamber that held fast and stood up for Florida’s citizens instead of corporate greed.

  • Republicans Maintain a Majority in 188 Races for Newly Redrawn Florida Legislative and Congressional Districts
    Republicans Maintain a Majority in 188 Races for Newly Redrawn Florida Legislative and Congressional Districts by Rheb Harbison Carlton Fields Senior Government Consultant 11.07.2012; 4:00 a.m. Republicans held their grip over both chambers of the Florida Legislature in the first election following the spring 2012 redraw of state’s legislative and congressional district lines. The redistricting exercise occurs every 10 years following the most recent US Census, and when complete requires all 160 members of the Florida Legislature to run for office. The decennial US Census also gave Florida two additional seats in the US House of Representatives, bringing the state’s delegation to 29 members: 27 in the US House of Representatives and two in the US Senate. All of the US House seats were up for election this year. Democrats held onto one of the two US Senate seats with incumbent US Senator Bill Nelson winning decisively over US Representative Connie Mack in Tuesday’s election. Miami Republican Marco Rubio, who was not up for election this year, holds the other US Senate seat. As well, voters decided the fate of 11 proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution at Tuesday’s General Election. All of the proposed amendments were placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature. ► 2013-2014 Florida Senate Republicans have now controlled Florida’s Senate for over a decade. The Party won 26 seats and fell just one member short of achieving a Republican “Super Majority” with the defeat of incumbent Republican Ellyn Bogdanoff. Super Majority rule essentially means one party completely controls the chamber’s political agenda by controlling the procedural rules of the chamber.
