About

LiquidEarth

Read full description

LiquidEarth is a cloud-based solution that enables experts to visualize, edit and communicate geological data and models in intuitive 3D with real-time collaboration across different devices - anywhere, anytime. LiquidEarth is a cross platform solution supporting desktop PC and mac, tablets, smartphones and Mixed-reality headsets. Add your own geological data from the field, geomodelling, simulation or geophysical surveys and easily share it with your colleagues with a link or directly connect with them over the app in a collaborative session. LiquidEarth can be described as a β€œ3D-first” app and offers a number of different options to visualize and interact with data directly in 3D. This approach differentiates LiquidEarth from most comparable solutions. The user experience also depends on the device used. While the gui remains the same, the visualization possibilities as well as the manual interfacing greatly vary between using a desktop with a mouse and keyboard, tapping on a tablet, and immersing yourself in 3D by putting on a virtual reality headset and using your hands. We aim to enable the user to flexibly switch between perspectives to gain better insights and work the way that suits them the most. LiquidEarth One is the first product iteration and the beginning of our journey to create a truly innovative and streamlined geoscience software solution. We're continuously developing new features to digitize and improve workflows of 3D geodata inspection, interpretation, as well as rapid geomodel building and updating, whether that is in the field or in the office.
