In a world that is anything but flat, our digital experiences often remain confined to the limitations of a 2D environment. However, the real world is three-dimensional and the potential for innovation lies in bridging the gap between our digital and physical realities.
While 3D data and applications have been around for some time, they have largely been the domain of technical experts. The challenge is clear: how can we transform and deliver an immersive 3D digital environment that is accurate, intelligent and accessible to everyone?
Maps, as a communication tool, have always been powerful. By extending mapping capabilities into 3D, we unlock endless opportunities. An immersive, intelligent 3D reality opens new avenues for understanding our world and what you care about.
Google Maps Platform (GMP) has long been a leader and at the forefront of consumer mapping experiences, which is reflected in its ubiquitous usage with over one billion users per month. Now Google has launched a new innovative data product called Photorealistic 3D Tiles which is the same 3D map source as Google Earth, providing a seamless high-resolution 3D model of the real world.
How can you take advantage of this new 3D data product? NGIS offers a ready-made, highly accessible, next-generation “3D as a Service” solution based on the world’s best 3D rendering engine, Skyline, and the power of Google Cloud. Skyline seamlessly connects with Google Maps' Photorealistic 3D Tiles, enabling instant online access, plus integrates with your data and a suite of 3D analytical tools, delivering an intelligent 3D reality for your organisation.
