New 3D mapping tech goes way beyond GPS to let us see the earth in ways never before possible


Project Orbion brings together several cutting edge technologies to create a digital twin of the planet that will enable geospatial vision like we've never seen before.

A new initiative called Project Orbion is creating a digital twin of earth by bringing together various technologies and companies in a collaboration that is promising to deliver a next-gen 3D mapping solution that will allow humans to see into places and in ways that we've never seen before -- especially in some of the most difficult situations and environments on the planet, where GPS can be of little use. With Project Orbian, they are taking the first steps to bring their technologies together in meaningful ways to have a larger impact on public safety, disaster preparedness and recovery, transportation, agriculture, and many other spheres of life. The companies are coming together to begin the commercialization of this technology by joining forces to learn how they can bring their strengths and various capabilities together to create a truly next-gen solution for 3D mapping, spatial intelligence, and situational awareness.
