Hexagon introduces visualisation platform for accurate digital representation

of smart city and smart nation platforms that will increasingly reflect the needs of citizens today and in the future.” HxDR has been designed to help professionals make more informed decisions. According to Hexagon, architects can share 3D building designs with project stakeholders within accurate digital replicas of real-world locations and media and entertainment professionals can remotely scout production locations as well as leverage HxDR to streamline production workflows.

addressing the growing need for simple- to-create, yet highly sophisticated and accurate, visualisations of reality capture data that boost project efficiencies and cost savings,” said Hexagon president and CEO Ola Rollén. “We’re uniquely positioned to deliver this platformdue to the vast library of data captured from our world-leading sensor and visualisation services portfolio – a portfolio we continually enhance through R&D and strategic acquisitions such as Technodigit, Luciad, MyVR, and the newly acquired Melown Technologies. Moving forward, we anticipate HxDR will play a critical role in the formation

HEXAGON AB, a specialist in sensor, software and autonomous solutions, has announced the introduction of HxDR, a new cloud-based, digital reality visualisation platform. HxDR creates accurate digital representations of the real world through the seamless combination of reality capture data from airborne, ground and mobile sensors. Users can then leverage the complete, accurate and precise replicas to visualise and share their 3D design projects and models within a real-world context. “HxDR enables customers to create their own Smart Digital RealitiesTM,
