Project introduction:

The company is a cloud native real-time 3D platform company headquartered in Montreal, Canada. Founded in 2021, the company is positioned as an "industrial digital twin operating system", and is committed to breaking the dependence of traditional 3D engines on professional GPU and local installation, and making high-quality real-time 3D experience as convenient as using GoogleDocs.

The cloud native real-time 3D runtime platform developed by the company is based on more than 100 extensible micro-service architectures and adopts the design principle of API priority. The platform offloads the heavy 3D rendering tasks to the cloud GPU, and streams the images to devices-whether desktop, tablet, mobile phone or AR/VR head display-through the browser. Users don't need to download and install software or local GPU support. The platform natively supports open formats such as USD, glTF, IFC, etc., and can seamlessly integrate existing enterprise systems such as IoT sensors, PLC controllers, AI services, ERP systems, etc., and realize multi-user real-time collaboration. Application scenarios include industrial digital twinning, factory training and simulation, design review, robot visualization, cultural heritage display and even video game development.

Compared with the traditional 3D engines (such as UnrealEngine, Unity and Nvidiaomserver), the platform is competitive:

● Cost efficiency has nothing to do with hardware: through interoperability of cloud resources, the rendering cost of the company is 7-8 times lower than that of the traditional engine, and there is no need to build a separate version for each device, thus completely removing the hardware threshold and the burden of IT operation and maintenance.

Native multi-user collaboration ability: The platform supports multiple people to connect to the same 3D scene in real time and see each other's operations in real time from the architecture level, without additional synchronization middleware, while traditional engines often need complex client synchronization mechanisms.

● Open interoperability: As an API-driven platform, the company can easily connect MQTT, OPCUA and other industrial protocols and various AI pipelines to avoid being locked in a single vendor ecosystem.

● Enterprise-level security architecture: all access controls are managed centrally, without local installation, and enterprise-level encryption is built in. In 2025, the company also joined the NVIDIAInception program and cooperated with industry leaders such as Siemens and ALTEN to further accelerate its digital twin deployment in manufacturing, construction engineering and infrastructure.
