From OPGS to 3DTiles - Next-generation geospatial data visualization with GISBox

Free on-premise cesium ion alternative
In recent years, the use of urban digital twins and 3D maps has rapidly expanded, and the importance of the “3DTiles” format is becoming increasingly important. In particular, technology that efficiently and highly accurately converts the OPGS format (Open Positioning Geospatial Standard), which is widely used in public institutions and the construction industry, to 3DTiles has attracted attention.
GISBox is an advanced GIS development platform that meets this challenge, and comes standard with an OPGS → 3DTiles conversion function. It achieves both business efficiency and improved quality of 3D visualization.
Why is 3DTiles conversion necessary?
3DTiles allows you to visualize spatial relationships of urban structures and infrastructure, which were difficult to express with conventional 2D maps and vector data, in a lightweight and real-time manner.
On the other hand, existing formats such as OPGS have limitations in their 3D compatibility, and GISBox’s conversion function acts as a bridge to transform them into “usable 3D data”.
Features of GISBox’s OPGS → 3DTiles conversion function
1. One-click conversion
Just select the file in the dedicated UI. Even beginners to GIS can operate it intuitively.
2. Supports batch processing and API integration
Multiple data can be processed at once, and integration with existing business systems is also possible.
Usage scenarios
3D modeling of urban planning and infrastructure management
BIM/GIS integrated display for architecture and civil engineering
Disaster prevention and evacuation simulation for local governments
Building infrastructure for smart cities and digital twins
Web3D publication of geospatial open data
Summary
GISBox is not just a GIS viewer. It is an integrated platform that bridges existing OPGS assets to next-generation 3D geospatial applications.
“We have data, but we can’t use it in 3D” — if you have such an issue, why not expand your possibilities with GISBox?
