For
Road and civil-engineering planners and site managers
Worth noticing
The site cites an ACM CHI ’26 extended abstract and says the program remains in development, with beta testers selected from early interest.

Field notes

The described workflow puts plan geometry in the field of view so crews can compare proposed pipe and manhole locations with the site before excavation. For meetings, the page describes a 3D-relief presentation on a table; it also says a local edge server handles data syncing without an internet connection. The homepage identifies the program as still in development and invites early interested parties to apply as beta testers.
