MapGear developed the Geo-Oblique Viewer for Slagboom & Peeters, enabling interactive oblique aerial views that support planning, property inspection, and stakeholder engagement in architectural and real estate projects.
The Geo-Oblique Viewer allows users to view oblique (angled) aerial imagery instead of only straight-down (orthographic) maps. This provides richer context and intuitive visuals that help in spatial understanding, architectural planning, and property evaluation.
For the firm Slagboom & Peeters, MapGear implemented the Geo-Oblique Viewer to showcase properties and developments in a more immersive way.
Users can pan, zoom, and tilt the oblique imagery to see building facades, surroundings, and terrain from multiple angles. This helps both internal project teams and external stakeholders (clients, residents, municipal bodies) better understand proposals and existing site conditions.
Using this tool, project stakeholders can explore 3D-like perspectives, compare expected designs with surroundings, and identify spatial context issues earlier in the process.
Improved spatial awareness: The oblique view offers better perception of building heights, facades, and terrain relations.
Stakeholder communication: A more intuitive visual representation helps non-technical stakeholders understand proposals more clearly.
Decision support: Project teams can use the viewer to evaluate design options or plan interventions with context in view.
Efficiency in presentations: The viewer can be embedded into project websites or portals to visually support proposals, public information, or permit submissions.
The MapGear implementation integrates with existing GIS and imagery services. It supports multiple devices and ensures smooth interaction, including tilting and rotating the view. MapGear handles the rendering, caching, and responsive behavior to deliver a performant user experience.
