Navigate 3D Models Like a Map

Introducing Orthographic Camera Mode: A powerful new way to explore, understand, and present your photogrammetry scans with technical precision.

New Feature

Perspective vs. Orthographic

Unlike the traditional perspective camera where objects appear smaller as they get further away, the orthographic camera displays your 3D scene without perspective distortion. Parallel lines stay parallel, and objects maintain their true proportions regardless of distance.

Accurate Dimensions

When precision matters, orthographic view is invaluable. Assess object sizes and spatial relationships accurately without perspective tricks—perfect for architects and surveyors.

Map-Like Navigation

Experience an intuitive, map-like navigation. Move freely across your entire 3D model from a top-down view, making it effortless to explore every corner of complex scenes.

Perfect for Large Sites

See the complete layout at a glance. Ideal for documenting archaeological excavations, heritage sites, and large architectural projects where context is key.

Seamless Switching

Switch effortlessly between orbit and orthographic modes. Offer immersive cinematic exploration and technical precision in a single interactive presentation.


Professional Use Cases

The orthographic camera unlocks new possibilities for professionals who need to communicate technical details alongside visual impact.

  • Museum & Heritage

    Switch between immersive views and layout understanding.

  • Architecture & Construction

    Present floor plans and site progress with clarity.

  • Education

    Teach spatial concepts with accurate projections.
