Introducing Keyframe

Keyframe is an Australian Geo BIM platform specialising in bringing all your 3D models, point-clouds and GIS data into view. Keyframe provides a complete picture of your project with its geospatial publishing platform bringing your team, contractors and stakeholders on the same page. 

Speckle x Keyframe: Enabling Creative Geo-Spatial Workflows

Keyframe integrates with Speckle to display models in a geospatial environment alongside point clouds and various other file types. By integrating with Speckle, Keyframe’s offerings are broadening to more capabilities and applications. 

Thanks to Speckle, Keyframe found a way around the interoperability problem, as it enabled a one-stop shop for all BIM data in the Speckle format. 

How is Keyframe different from other GIS tools?

1. Keyframe spatial pipeline processes your point cloud data for on-demand streaming over the web.

2. It supports various authoring tools providing smooth comparison against other 3D data models.

3. It runs in the browser on commodity hardware, eliminating the need for expensive high-end workstations.

Unlocking Keyframe’s Capabilities with Speckle

You can now bring in your models—ranging from small projects to large infrastructure—directly into Keyframe via Speckle, placing them in a fully integrated GIS environment. Use accurate GIS and terrain models, combined with your Speckle models, to make informed decisions on projects of all sizes.

But it doesn’t stop there! Keyframe also allows you to bring in highly accurate survey-grade LiDAR data, no matter how large or complex the project. Keyframe is built to handle it. Don’t trust the existing conditions model on your project? Use your precise LiDAR scans to make decisions around new designs. Plus, you don’t need to download bulky data locally—view your Speckle model directly against your point cloud in Keyframe.

Even better, Keyframe lets you natively bring in GIS data, along with traditional model formats like IFC, FBX, OBJ, and more. You can easily visualise and collaborate on even the most complex projects.

Conclusion

With platform neutrality and software longevity at its core, Keyframe is built to adapt and grow with your needs. As they continue their journey with Speckle, the team is excited to incorporate even more of its features as they move forward.

We look forward to seeing what Keyframe achieves next!
