Testimonial

"The Veesus Point Cloud technology quickly displays very large point cloud files on workstations, iPads, and cell phones. While other platforms do this by just streaming from a cloud based data source, the Veesus technology can actually load the scan right on the device, including iPhone and iPad. I can take my phone and iPad anywhere in the world, show people our work, and not have to worry about an internet connection. This is something no other software I’m aware of can do"
