Nomoko, a provider of real-world 3D data technology, announced today that they have joined the Overture Maps Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing open and accessible map data, as a Contributor member.
According to a Markets and Markets report, the global 3D mapping and modelling market is expected to grow to over €6.5/$7B by 2025 as numerous industries increasingly embrace the adoption of 3D visualization technology.
Leveraging its real-world 3D modelling capabilities, Nomoko will collaborate alongside steering members, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Microsoft, and TomTom, to create interoperable, accessible 3D datasets.
“We’re excited to welcome Nomoko to our growing community of contributors and users and look forward to working with them to create new and exciting immersive 3D mapping experiences,” adds Marc Prioleau, Executive Director of the Overture Maps Foundation. “With the addition of even more high-fidelity 3D mapping data, we are one step closer to unlocking the full potential of open, immersive and interactive mapping applications.”
Nomoko’s state-of-the-art 3D data technology captures high-resolution imagery and precise data, enabling the creation of detailed digital environments optimized for online streaming and web visualization. By integrating this expertise into the Overture Maps Foundation’s initiatives and community, Nomoko aims to support the development of open-source tools and datasets that will enable developers, researchers, and enthusiasts to build immersive and interactive applications that rely on accurate 3D maps.
“The Overture Maps Foundation’s mission comes at an important time for the mapping and visualization technology community,” said Nilson Kufus, CEO and co-founder of Nomoko. “Together, we will work towards building an open and accessible 3D data framework that will fuel innovation in various domains, including AR/VR, urban planning, infrastructure, robotics and more. By democratizing access to high-quality 3D map data, we can unlock new possibilities and empower developers, creators, and users worldwide.”
As a member, Nomoko will contribute its expertise, resources, and data to support the ongoing efforts of the Overture Maps Foundation. Together, they will collaborate on research and development projects, share technical insights, and promote adopting open standards for 3D map data.
