From Dream to Reality, Captured

Built by a team that treats your work with the care it deserves

About Nira

Our mission is to make massive 3D and spatial datasets instantly accessible on the web. With Nira, teams can understand, share, and act on complex 3D model and reality data without technical barriers.

At our core, we operate by a set of three non-negotiable principles: to fully unlock the power of your 3D data, it must be rendered in real-time at the highest visual quality, be instantly accessible without software or hardware barriers and remain secure against piracy.

Powered by our proprietary server-side rendering technology, Nira streams real-time, best-in-class visuals securely to any browser. Share your 3D models with confidence so anyone who has access feels the quality, detail, and care you put behind your work it. We want you to “wow” your clients with every share.

Whether your data originates from drones, laser scanners, thermal sensors, robot dogs, cameras, IoT systems, CAD tools, VFX animation software, or any combination thereof, Nira makes accessing, inspecting and sharing these complex datasets seamless, reliable and genuinely enjoyable.

Designers, builders, surveyors, reality capture professionals, architects, engineers and artists rely on Nira to reshape and reimagine both the physical and digital worlds we live in today and those of tomorrow.
