3D Digital Sand ModelThe defining feature of a 3D sand model is depth. GLOBEIR 3D drapes high-resolution satellite or drone imagery over a Digital Elevation Model and renders it as an interactive 3D surface directly in the browser — no plug-ins, no internet connection.
Read terrain the way it really is
- True relief — ridgelines, re-entrants, spurs, and valleys appear at their real heights
- Mouse-natural camera — drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, right-drag to pan, AOR-constrained
- 2D ↔ 3D toggle — switch to top-down 2D for sketching, back to 3D for terrain reading
- Layer switching — flip between satellite imagery and DEM-shaded views instantly
First-Person View
Drop to a soldier's eye-level at any chosen height and look out across the ground. First-Person View confirms exactly what an OP or HQ can see and exposes terrain masking — the single most convincing way to brief a ground-level plan.
Built for the briefing theatre
A single workstation drives a 65–85" wall display. The 3D toggle, laser pointer, and route playback turn complex spatial information into something senior, non-technical leadership grasps instantly. It is the modern, interactive successor to the sand table at the front of every operations room.
The technology stack
Real-time 3D rendering, satellite-over-DEM texturing, planning-annotation overlays, and ballistic-trajectory arcs — all running offline. See the GIS foundation beneath the visualization, or the army-focused overview.
