New partnership to provide precise 3D augmented reality of underground infrastructure

Pix4D and ProStar have entered into a strategic partnership to support the latest advances in augmented reality for critical underground infrastructure. Their collaboration combines the advanced 3D modelling capabilities of Pix4D, a global leader in photogrammetry and 3D mapping technology, with the PointMan platform from ProStar, a leading provider of precision mapping solutions.

The collaboration between Pix4D and PointMan represents a significant advancement in the digital transformation of underground infrastructure mapping. Both companies aim to deliver a powerful, user-friendly mobile solution for construction, engineering and utility professionals, allowing them to visualize and manage buried infrastructure with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.

This combination will enable users to view a representation of what lies beneath the Earth’s surface in 3D from a smartphone. PointMan’s mobile and cloud-based architecture is designed to precisely capture and map subsurface assets, while Pix4D’s software transforms this data into real-time 3D mapping.

“The practical implications of our combined technologies are profound,” stated Andrey Kleymenov, CEO at Pix4D. “With PointMan and Pix4D, organizations of any size, anywhere in the world, can now reduce risk, enhance safety and increase operational efficiency by making more informed decisions with a solution that is easily scalable and accessible.”

“This collaboration highlights our mission to establish PointMan as the global standard in precision mapping through partnerships with best-in-class technologies,” stated Page Tucker, founder and CEO of ProStar. “The ProStar-Pix4D partnership is more than a product integration – it is a milestone in the evolution of infrastructure management, offering a next-generation solution that redefines how buried assets are recorded, visualized and managed.”
