GeoSolutions at GeoWeek Feb 10-12 (Booth 1543): Cesium/3D Tiles Support in MapStore

Dear Reader,

During 2024, MapStore has evolved support for 3D tiles as well as several other enhancements, moreover we have started to work on an Open Source Digital Twin Toolbox to process 3D data into 3DTiles and other formats geared towards web streaming..  We at GeoSolutions are proud of how far we’ve taken 3D support and we’ll be showing this off at GeoWeek in Denver February 10-12 (Booth 1543).

A few tutorials are available in the Digital Twing Toolbox project’s wiki, like for example one for the conversion of shapefile with polygon geometries to 3D Tiles and one for the conversion of point cloud data to 3D tiles. If you are interested, we held a webinar last summer to showcase the latest advancements on the work for the project.

“The intersection of geospatial + the built world” is the focus of GeoWeek and we continue to evolve MapStore and 3D support for powerful visualization of the built environment.  This is a culmination of our work with OGC 3D Tiles and Cesium.  As Cesium certified developers and global leaders in open-source for geospatial software development, GeoSolutions is here to support your organization’s evolution toward full 3D visualization integration and we’re proud to make this capability freely available in the latest public distribution of MapStore.
