Project Summary
Imaginary Cloud rebuilt and completed a web-based mapping application that renders multi-terabyte 3D point clouds in the browser and integrates with Google Maps and a Global Information System. The vendor rewrote the initial prototype, implemented front- and back-end development (Node.js server, React frontend) and built advanced data structures to enable filtering and AR-layering of map data. Customers praised the solution and the team’s ability to work with emerging technologies.
Key Challenges
- Turn an MVP/prototype into a completed, production-ready web application
- Render detailed, multi-terabyte 3D industrial maps in a web browser
- Integrate mapping and GIS systems to support AR-layered views and filtering
Project Deliverables
- Web-based point-cloud renderer for multi-terabyte datasets
- Google Maps integration for map views
- Global Information System (GIS) integration for geo-spatial views
- Backend Node.js server and React frontend
- Advanced data structures and filtering functionality
Project Solution
Imaginary Cloud rewrote the initial prototype and performed full front-end and back-end design and development. They implemented a Node.js server and a React frontend, rendered point clouds in the browser using WebGL-based rendering, integrated with Google Maps and a Global Information System for geo-spatial views, and built advanced data structures and filtering to support AR-layered map visualizations. The database was hosted on Google App Engine.
Project Outcome
- Customers were impressed and "blown away" by the delivered solution
- Delivered a high-quality solution using cutting-edge technologies
- Established a reliable process that reduced the need for frequent client check-ins
