A New Dimension in LP360 Visualization

The Immersive Image Explorer can be found within the Immersive View Window in LP360. The Immersive View Window is now the fourth main visualization option in LP360, joining Map View (2D), 3D View (isometric), and Profile View (cross-sectional).

Rather than replacing these views, the Immersive View Window complements them by combining many of their core capabilities into a single, intuitive interface. It allows users to view, navigate, and analyze their 3D data from multiple angles in real-time. Within this environment, the Immersive Image Explorer unlocks the ability to overlay imagery directly onto point clouds, seamlessly merging photos and LiDAR into a unified, immersive perspective.

Key Capabilities

Handheld Advantage – Merge imagery from TrueView GO’s three cameras with dense point clouds for detailed indoor and close-range visualization.

Aerial Integration – Seamlessly incorporate images from TrueView aerial payloads to provide context-rich overviews of larger sites.

Immersive Deliverables – Create a “street view” style navigation of your own data, fully measurable and directly inside LP360.

Flexible Image Sources – Works with frame images from integrated TrueView cameras or 360° spherical imagery captured by the TrueView GO 360 Photo Kit or FLIR LadyBug camera for mobile mapping.

Transforming Workflows Across Industries

From confined interior corridors to expansive construction sites, the Immersive Image Explorer empowers surveyors, AEC professionals, and public safety teams to work more effectively. It allows users to verify coverage and spot potential gaps before ever leaving the job site, ensuring confidence in their datasets. By merging real-world imagery with LiDAR, inspection and validation workflows become faster and more accurate, giving teams a deeper understanding of their projects.

“The Immersive Image Explorer is more than a viewer, it’s a smarter way to navigate, validate, and present geospatial data,” added Vivien Heriard Dubreuil, CEO of mdGroup, GeoCue’sparent company. “By combining imagery and LiDAR in one immersive environment, we’re enabling professionals to work faster, communicate better, and deliver more value to their clients.”

With Immersive Image Explorer, LP360 continues to evolve as the industry’s most complete platform for LiDAR and imagery workflows, putting users directly inside their data with clarity and precision.
