XR Application Categories​

This document lists the applications used in the XR ecosystem, categorized into 3D, Geospatial, and Creative, along with brief descriptions of what each application does.

3D Applications​

Autodesk 3ds Max​

A professional 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software used widely in games, films, and visualization.
It helps create detailed models, architectural visualizations, and cinematic-quality animations.

Autodesk AutoCAD​

A CAD software used for 2D drafting and 3D design across engineering, architecture, and construction.
It enables precise drawings, layouts, and detailed technical documentation.

Autodesk Inventor​

A mechanical design and 3D CAD tool for creating digital prototypes of manufacturing components.
It supports simulation, documentation, and engineering workflows.

Autodesk Maya​

A powerful 3D animation, simulation, and rendering software commonly used in movies and game development.
It enables character creation, motion graphics, and complex visual effects.

Autodesk Revit​

A BIM (Building Information Modeling) tool for designing buildings and infrastructure.
It helps architects and engineers create coordinated models with detailed construction information.

Pano2VR​

A software tool used to convert panoramic images into interactive virtual tours.
It allows adding hotspots, maps, and multimedia to create immersive 360° experiences.

Pixyz Studio​

A 3D data preparation tool that optimizes CAD, mesh, and point cloud models for real-time engines.
It simplifies complex models for smooth use in XR applications like Unity.

Unity Editor​

A real-time 3D development environment for building games, simulations, XR worlds, and interactive applications.
It provides tools for rendering, scripting, animation, physics, and deployment across platforms.

Unity Hub​

A management tool used to install, launch, and manage multiple Unity Editor versions and projects.
It centralizes Unity workflows, templates, and project organization.

Geospatial Applications​

Cyclone Register 360 Plus​

A laser scanning software for registering and managing point cloud data captured from 3D scanners.
It helps create accurate, aligned datasets for surveying, mapping, and XR visualization.

Insta360 Studio​

A desktop application for editing and exporting 360° camera footage.
It enables stabilization, reframing, and high-quality video rendering.

Leica Cyclone 3DR​

A software that processes, analyzes, and models 3D point cloud data.
It creates accurate deliverables such as meshes, contours, and measurements.

OpenDroneMap​

An open-source toolkit that transforms drone imagery into maps and 3D models.
It produces orthophotos, point clouds, textured models, and geospatial datasets.

Pix4D Fields​

A mapping solution for agriculture that processes drone images to generate crop maps.
It supports field analysis, zone mapping, and precision agriculture insights.

Pix4D Mapper​

A photogrammetry software that converts images into georeferenced 2D maps and 3D models.
It is used in surveying, construction, and environmental monitoring.

Pix4D Matic​

A high-accuracy photogrammetry engine designed for large-scale mapping datasets.
It processes drone or terrestrial images to produce detailed point clouds and meshes.

Pix4D React​

A fast-mapping tool designed for emergency response and rapid situational awareness.
It creates lightweight orthomosaics from drone images in minutes.

QGIS​

An open-source GIS application for creating, editing, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial data.
It supports mapping workflows, spatial analysis, and extensive plugin capabilities.

Creative Applications​
