The Fledermaus software suite provides users with a powerful set of interactive 3D visualization tools for data processing, analysis and presentation. Because Fledermaus allows users near real-time, interactive 3D display of very large complex scenes at their full resolution- users gain powerful insight and the ability to extract and report on more information from their combined data.

Fledermaus is currently used across many industries by a variety of disciplines such as geoscientists, oceanographers and hydrographers. The interactive tool has been used to analyze environmental and geological hazards, plan oil drilling and rig locations, and determine placements for pipeline and cable routes.
