vGIS AR: Technical Requirements (KB-GI002)

vGIS AR is a cloud-based app that displays GIS and CAD data, using mixed and augmented reality.

vGIS is designed to run on traditional consumer-grade hardware: tablets, smartphones, and HoloLens devices. It doesn’t require specialized hardware to operate.

vGIS also doesn’t require client-provided servers. The system is hosted in a secure Microsoft Azure cloud operated by vGIS Inc. To comply with organizations that require enhanced data security, such as federal agencies, the system can be hosted in a private Azure instance.
