The two-year-old company has a patent pending in the EU (PCT/EP2026/058725) covering the bending algorithm, shader, and camera setup, and released an interactive browser demo using the PlayCanvas engine with WebGL2/WebGPU and Gaussian splatting. The startup has initial funding from Innovation Norway and Norges forskningsråd and is still testing whether the interface actually improves navigation. Why: The browser demo is worth a look if you build geospatial or navigation interfaces — it shows a concrete WebGL2/WebGPU + Gaussian splatting implementation in PlayCanvas that you can inspect. But the technology is pre-commercial, the patent scope is unpublished, and there's no validation yet that the warped perspective helps users navigate better, so there's nothing to adopt or change today. geospatial webgpu 3d-maps navigation-ui
