Overview
A Scalable Platform For Interactive 3D Experiences
BHSoft partnered with a Finnish company specializing in 3D, BIM, and urban digitalization solutions to develop a Proof of Concept (POC) for visualizing large-scale 3D city data in a web environment. The platform was designed to convert complex 3D assets into optimized 3D Tiles and stream them efficiently across desktop and mobile devices.
The solution demonstrates how large urban environments—including buildings, streets, and infrastructure assets—can be transformed into interactive, high-performance 3D experiences that support planning, visualization, and future digital twin initiatives.

The Challenge
Large-scale 3D data • Cross-device visualization
Visualizing city-scale 3D environments presents significant technical challenges due to the size and complexity of urban datasets. The platform needed to support efficient streaming and rendering while maintaining a smooth user experience across different devices.
Key challenges included:
- Managing and visualizing large-scale 3D city datasets
- Converting diverse 3D formats such as DAE and FBX into streamable formats
- Optimizing performance across desktop and mobile devices
- Maintaining visual quality while reducing loading and rendering overhead
