CartoConsult has added a subscription service that delivers smart 3D building and city models via live web streaming to any internet connected device.

Using Cesiumjs, a cross-platform open architecture, dynamic-data visualisation package which requires no plug-in to run in a web browser, CartoConsult believes the new web streaming capability will significantly boost the appeal of applying 3D capability to projects.
