Purdue University Exploring the Boundaries of XR with Cesium

Purdue University’s Envision Center supports faculty across the university by creating 3D visualizations for research and classroom use. When researchers requested an immersive way of viewing complex spatial data, such as supernovas, heart models, and combustion engines, the Envision Center built CollabXR, a collaborative XR platform designed to ingest nearly any 3D dataset and explore it as a group. Now with the addition of Cesium for Unity, CollabXR supports geospatial data as well.
