Defense Showcase--Touch Table

In Aisle 200 of the Exhibit Hall D, is the Northrop Grumman display. The highlight of this booth are the two Touch Table screens that were such a hit at last year's plenary. The Touch Table lets you interact directly, intuitively, and visually with your data without the need of a mouse or keyboard. You can zoom in/out, add/remove layers, and see changes to a location over time with a sweep of your hand.

Defense Showcase

If you haven't visited the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) theatre, you need to go. Located in Aisle 100 in Exhibit Hall D, behind the camouflage net, you'll discover a multi-sensory experience you're not likely to forget anytime soon. Look for the cylindrical digital screen and step behind the curtain. You'll be amazed.

Oh, and as for the camouflage net? Take the time to visit, put on some camo gear and get your photo taken.
