Plasio Point Cloud UI

Plasio (and its derivative Plasio-ui) is an open-source software project designed as a prefabricated, ready-to-use point cloud user interface for web applications. The brand and software originated within the American technology sector, specifically through the work of Hobu, Inc., a consultancy specialized in LiDAR and point cloud data management.

The project was developed to provide a functional, browser-based viewer for massive point cloud datasets, leveraging technologies like Entwine and PlasIO.js. As an open-source tool, its 'manufacturing' or development primarily takes place through community and corporate contributions on platforms like GitHub, though its original design and core maintenance are rooted in the United States.

Currently, the project remains under the stewardship of Hobu, Inc. While it is widely used by various geospatial organizations and developers globally, the brand and intellectual property associated with the original Plasio repository are maintained by the founding company in Iowa, USA.
