To further support the growing demand for digital twins, location intelligence technology company Esri has introduced ArcGIS Reality, a family of products for site, city, and countrywide reality mapping.
The products all use the new ArcGIS Reality Engine: ArcGIS Reality for ArcGIS Pro, a new extension of Esri’s flagship desktop GIS software, allowing users to input images from drones or crewed aircraft to generate 3D outputs for reality mapping; ArcGIS Reality Studio, a new focused application for reality mapping from aerial images for entire cities and countries; Site Scan for ArcGIS, a cloud-based end-to-end reality mapping software for drone imagery, designed to simplify drone program management, imagery data collection, processing and analysis and ArcGIS Drone2Map, an intuitive desktop application focused on reality mapping from drone imagery, enabling offline processing and in-the-field rapid mapping.
“Digital twins have become a critical tool for many industries, and to be effective they rely on highly accurate and up-to-date maps and 3D models derived from imagery,” said Jack Dangermond, Esri founder and president. “We are happy to offer this new family of products to the professionals who are digitizing our world to help us all better understand it — whether their operations are large or small, local or global.”
