Quickstart Guide
VoxelSpace is a volumetric spatial platform that transforms massive terrain, infrastructure, and sensor datasetsinto living 4D environments. Traditional models capture only surfaces—lines, elevations, or textures. Volumetricmodeling uses
voxels-3D pixels that store data about each cubic volume. This unlocks new capabilities forsimulation, change detection, infrastructure planning, and geoscience because the entire volume becomes thedataset.
