Hexagon has announced the acquisition of Luciad, a Belgium-based software company specialising in the visualisation and analysis of real-time geospatial information. Luciad will be fully consolidated, operating within Hexagon's Geospatial division. Luciad's visualisation technologies support live connections to dynamic sensor feeds in a 3D environment. The result is a 5D digital reality: real-time, rapid fusion of multi-source content and the ability to perform analytics on the fly. These intuitive command and control systems benefit all kinds of applications - from public safety and smart cities to defence and intelligence - enabling users to make critical decisions based on changing information in real time. This acquisition strengthens Hexagon's ability to deliver smart digital realities, enhancing the Smart M.App platform with 3D, 4D (realtime sensor feed integration) and 5D (dynamic analytics) capabilities, said Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollen. The ability to rapidly integrate sensor data in a visually compelling environment provides the geospatial location intelligence and situational awareness necessary for mission critical operations.
