Explore and AnalyzeReal Terrain in 3DTogether

Turn your own georeferenced field data and digital twins into a shared 3D space — explore and analyze it as a team, in VR or right on screen.

Multi-user, by design

Bring your whole team into the same terrain, at the same time

Most 3D terrain tools are built for one person at a time. VRExplorer isn’t. Several people join the same georeferenced scene from anywhere — they see each other move in real time, talk as they go, point at the same feature and measure together, and reach a shared read of the site in a single session, without organizing a field trip.

Capabilities

Everything you need to explore real terrain together

Your own georeferenced data in a shared 3D space, the tools to author and analyze it, and access from both VR and standard screens.

Your real georeferenced data

Import your own 3D field data and digital twins. Every scale, slope and distance stays true to the real world.

Digital twins

Measurement & drawing tools

Draw points, lines and polygons with automatic area calculation, place them precisely with ground snapping, and capture photos of any view — measure and annotate right inside the terrain.

Measure · Draw · Annotate

Scenarios & assessment

Author guided journeys, annotate the terrain, and add knowledge checks to onboard, train and verify understanding.

Built in

Multi-user collaboration

Bring several people into the same scene, remotely, to point, measure and decide together in real time.

Real-time

Built for massive datasets

Load large terrains and dense point clouds without slowdowns — optimized streaming and caching keep even heavy, high-resolution data fluid.

Standalone VR, PC VR or on screen

Use a standalone Meta Quest or PICO headset, a PC-tethered headset, or a standard screen, and mix them all in the same session.

Cross-platform
Use cases

What teams do with VRExplorer

Wherever real terrain and field data drive decisions, VRExplorer puts everyone in the same view.

Use case

Analyze the geology of a real site

Read landforms, outcrops and structures at true scale to understand a site's geology — exploration ground, deposits and reservoirs, all georeferenced.

ExplorationOutcropsDeposits & reservoirsSurvey data

Use case

Explore hard-to-reach or sensitive sites

Walk a hard-to-reach or sensitive site at true scale — together, from wherever your team is. Inspect, measure and decide without sending everyone on the ground.

Use case

Bring stakeholders inside the site

Take a committee, client or partner into the real terrain. Show what's at stake in 3D and align everyone faster.

Use case

Document and preserve heritage sites

Build a precise, true-scale record of a site as it stands today — annotate what matters and track its condition over time. A lasting digital archive your whole team can revisit to support conservation, study and restoration.

Teach with real-world terrains

Turn genuine terrains into immersive lessons with built-in knowledge checks — and multiply field experience for students, whatever the distance.

Use case

Train field teams on real sites

Bring people onto an accurate replica of a site before they set foot on it — to rehearse operations and run safety briefings, safely and repeatably.

How it works

From your 3D data to a shared decision

From the data you capture in the field to a decision your whole team shares — VRExplorer covers the steps in between.

STEP 01

Capture your site, your way

Drone photogrammetry, lidar, terrestrial scanning, existing survey data or open datasets. VRExplorer takes what you already produce.

Georeferenced data turned into a true-scale 3D world
STEP 02

Import into VRExplorer

Your georeferenced data becomes an accurate, true-scale world, ready to enrich with annotations, guided routes and assessments.

STEP 03

Explore together

Invite your team on standalone headsets, PC VR or screen, walk the site in real time, and make sense of it together.

STEP 04

Decide and export

Align your team on a decision, then bring the results straight back into your existing workflow.

Devices

Bring everyone in, on any device

Standalone headset, PC-powered VR or a plain screen: VRExplorer is fully cross-platform. Everyone joins the same georeferenced terrain with the same tools — measure, draw, author scenarios and collaborate — and you can mix devices freely in a single session.
