Point Cloud Viewer: PurpleGeo
View Massive LAS & LAZ Files
Free · In‑App Purchases
High-performance point-cloud visualization for iPad.
PurpleGeo is an iPad-first point-cloud viewer built for engineers, surveyors, and geospatial professionals who need to explore large LiDAR and laser-scan datasets quickly and reliably. It is designed for modern iPad hardware, with a strong focus on performance, clarity, and professional workflows.
Load and navigate massive LAS and LAZ datasets directly on your iPad, with smooth interaction, precise controls, and high-quality rendering. PurpleGeo is intended as a fast first-look tool for real geospatial data, not a generic 3D viewer or a cloud-dependent platform.
Key Features
• Fast, responsive performance optimized for modern iPad hardware
• Smooth navigation for large terrestrial laser scans, UAV LiDAR, and photogrammetry outputs
• Clean, professional touch controls designed for real spatial inspection
• Interactive measurement tools for distances and XYZ extents
• Local, on-device processing with support for Files, iCloud Drive, external storage, and other locations your iPad can access
• Sandboxed storage with no mandatory cloud upload
Designed for Real Data
PurpleGeo is built to handle dense, real-world point clouds, including large engineering and survey datasets. Imports are local and explicit, with data remaining on your device unless you choose to share it. This makes PurpleGeo suitable for sensitive, proprietary, or regulated workflows.
Who It’s For
PurpleGeo is designed for geotechnical and civil engineers, surveyors, mining and infrastructure professionals, researchers, and anyone who works with large point-cloud datasets on iPad. If traditional tools feel slow, heavy, or outdated when opening large LAS or LAZ files, PurpleGeo is built to remove that friction.
Why PurpleGeo
PurpleGeo is developed with a modern, GPU-accelerated pipeline and an iPad-first mindset. Instead of adapting legacy desktop software or relying on remote processing, it takes advantage of current hardware to deliver immediate visual feedback and fluid interaction.
