Developed and distributed by DIGINEXT since 2000, VirtualGeo is a robust and field-proven application for the 3D interactive visualisation of very-large, namely planet-size, geospatial datasets. Originally proposed as a 3D extension of the GeoConcept Geographic Information System, VirtualGeo is today a standalone product offering impressive performances, reliability and interoperability capabilities.

Unlike other globe viewers, VirtualGeo is not a mass-market product. It is a professional system specifically designed for the most critical and demanding applications. VirtualGeo is even embedded in civil aircrafts… It has been adopted by numerous prestigious users for a wide range of applications, such as:
Based on Vertigo4, DIGINEXT’s cutting-edge 3D engine brought from the aerospace and military simulation world, VirtualGeo benefits from the latest advances in the fields of Virtual Reality and 3D Geospatial Information, thus enabling an unprecedented level of performance, with the highest visual quality, on standard PCs equiped with an OpenGL graphics board.
