Cesium is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The open source CesiumJS project has been downloaded over 2 million times, has over 200 lifetime contributions, and reaches tens of millions of users annually.
Cesium created 3D Tiles, contributed to glTF, and advocates for open standards across industries.
"VentureBeat caught up with Patrick Cozzi, CEO of Cesium, who conceived the idea for 3D Tiles."
CEO Patrick Cozzi said Cesium is deeply involved in building the metaverse and is one of the strongest advocates for making sure it is open and interoperable.
"Cesium’s expertise in cloud-based geospatial software and emphasis on open standards for streaming massive amounts of 3D content fits with Epic’s vision for an open metaverse."
"Collaboration and commitment to openness between geospatial and game technologists is driving innovation in both fields – and across industries."
"Tomorrow's flying Uber vehicles will rely on Cesium's open-source 3D geospatial software for its in-air driving."
"Cesium has created a way for construction sites to collect and channel their visual data so that it can be useful for keeping tabs on a construction project’s progress."
