"This provides powerful data visualization for operators and end clients – and eliminates the need to download any third-party programs.
R/ X( u7 l; J' I' GWith this, operators can give their end clients the ability to easily navigate projects using high-performance data visualization capabilities, such as viewing DTMs, 3D models, and point clouds from any angle, observation logs with synchronized images and more," EIVA said.
