A team at Analytical Graphics, Inc. developed CesiumJS for global-scale aerospace visualization.
As an independent venture-backed company to build the open platform for 3D geospatial applications.
Get to know our team.
Cesium is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
We believe that collaboration is the key to innovation.
Dedicated to open standards, open source software, and interoperability across the ecosystem.
"VentureBeat caught up with Patrick Cozzi, CEO of Cesium, who conceived the idea for 3D Tiles."
CEO Patrick Cozzi said Cesium is deeply involved in building the metaverse and is one of the strongest advocates for making sure it is open and interoperable.
"Cesium’s expertise in cloud-based geospatial software and emphasis on open standards for streaming massive amounts of 3D content fits with Epic’s vision for an open metaverse."
"Collaboration and commitment to openness between geospatial and game technologists is driving innovation in both fields – and across industries."
"Tomorrow's flying Uber vehicles will rely on Cesium's open-source 3D geospatial software for its in-air driving."
"Cesium has created a way for construction sites to collect and channel their visual data so that it can be useful for keeping tabs on a construction project’s progress."

With the release of CesiumJS 1.130, users can drape imagery layers on 3D Tiles, allowing developers more freedom to combine geospatial data from different sources. Reality meshes, CAD/BIM data, and point clouds can be uploaded to Cesium ion and converted into 3D Tiles for efficient streaming and visualization. Now, imagery data like Bing Maps imagery or OpenStreetMap imagery can be layered on top, creating more powerful 3D geospatial applications. This addition addresses a long-standing community request and supports a wide range of use cases.
