What is TerraExplorer Fusion (TEF)

TerraExplorer Fusion is a powerful 3D geospatial viewer that enables you to view and analyze high-resolution, stunningly realistic 3D content right in your web browser with no download or installation required. TerraExplorer Fusion enables viewing of most online layers and objects published to SkylineGlobe Server, performing powerful measurements and analysis operations, and dynamically exploring the 3D World via presentations which merge a custom flight path with distinct displays of the project. Built on HTML5/ WebGL/WebAssembly standards, TerraExplorer Fusion ensures compatibility with multiple platforms and browsers.

The new TerraExplorer Fusion is based on TerraExplorer Desktop source code converted to WebAssembly. This conversion technology provides exceptional compatibility, enabling most of the original TerraExplorer Desktop code to run as-is in web browsers with numerous advantages, including support for nearly all the layers and objects supported by the Desktop version, consistent API for code sharing, and powerful performance.

TerraExplorer Fusion’s styling and functionality can easily be customized to match a company's branding and provide the required tools and capabilities. Using TerraExplorer Fusion (TEF) as a foundation, you can leverage the application framework and functionality, thus reducing the amount of programming required for your customized solution.
