Cyclomedia 3DNL and StreetSmart

Cyclomedia collaborates with Hexagon to create first-of-its-kind photorealistic 3D model of an entire country.

Smart digital realities that replicate real-life geoinformation provide valuable insights and support the analysis and interpretation of infinite data inputs from the real or digital world. They can be used to improve work processes and planning for commercial and government customers. 3DNL is a first-of-its-kind photorealistic digital twin of the entire Netherlands. It is based on airborne imagery and LiDAR data, collected with a Leica CityMapper-2 aerial sensor and made accessible through Cyclomedia’s Street Smart web viewer hosted on HxDR , Hexagon’s cloud-based storage, visualization and collaboration platform.

Cyclomedia’s Street Smart viewer provides a simple way to access the hosted data set and includes a visualization tool plus other key features and functionality such as shade analysis, BIM models, cross-sections and measurements. It also supports the virtual collaboration of project stakeholders in any field. The high-quality 3DNL data set is instantly available to users. Cyclomedia provides customers with access to the complete comprehensive 3D database through a subscription. Therefore, the data is not only virtually accessible, but also economically accessible to anyone with a need or desire to work with 3D data. The product is certainly less expensive than contracting a custom collection and 3D mesh creation.
