On-premises web software for spatial communication
Skip the words and drawings — talk it through in the space
Install it on one PC that acts as the server, and everyone else connects over the web with nothing to install. As easy as a game — walk in, measure, record and analyse.
NUBIDA — ROAM 3D SPACE LIKE A GAME
How NUBIDA gets used
- 01
Scan it, open it today
Roam it in a browser the day you scan it.
Any scanner · 6 formats · web access - 02
Use it as it is
Roaming, records, measurement, route video. The core features are enough for real work.
Core features - 03
Add what you need
Attach analysis tools built from field requests — and detach them when they are not needed.
5 analysis tools built from field requests - 04
Grow it into a platform
As features accumulate, it grows into a platform built for that line of work.

1.What is NUBIDA?
Built to be read three ways
Simply moving through spatial data is worth something. The name comes from there.
Korean
nubida
“To move through, freely and without hindrance.” Roam 3D space like a game — not only specialists, anyone.
Latin
nubi-
nubes — cloud, mist, the air at dusk. What we handle is literally a cloud of points.
Ancient civilisation
Nubia
The African civilisation famed for its gold. Finding the function your own work needs inside a digital space is a kind of gold prospecting.
All three are right. Roam, and you find.
2.What was the problem?
It is worth a great deal, but it is not easy to open
Spatial data is worth a great deal. And yet—
- 01
The data is large
Tens of gigabytes. It takes a high-spec PC to open at all.
- 02
It takes specialist software
It is hard enough to drive that simply looking around is already out of reach.
- 03
It grows more complex the more it is used
Reaching the one function you need means going through several steps.
- 04
It is generic software, not built for your work
Not because the product is poor, but because it is shared across many industries, so it does not follow your own work process.
So the person who knows the site best never reaches the data.
3.What does J3D propose?
So we built NUBIDA
- 01
Open tens of gigabytes straight in a browser on an ordinary PC.
- 02
The core features are enough to roam, record and measure.
- 03
Add the features your work needs, one at a time. Detach them when they are not needed.
“A product you use as it is — and one that grows into a platform as you add to it.”
There is no need to commission a full platform up front. Features are added one at a time, so the cost of being wrong shrinks to a single feature.
4.What do you need to start?
Three things, and you start
- 01
A scanner, or spatial data
Whatever scanned it, LAS is enough. LAZ, E57, PTS, XYZ and PTX convert automatically, and Gaussian 3D comes in as PLY.
No scanner yet? We start there with you — J3D supplies FJD Trion.
- 02
An operating system
One host PC that acts as the server. Everyone else connects in a browser (Chrome or Edge).
- 03
NUBIDA software
J3D installs it on the host PC and trains your administrators.
NUBIDA asks for no vendor-specific format, so you can switch scanners or mix several and everything you have collected stays usable.
Show system requirements
The PC you work on
| Item | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) | Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) |
| CPU | x86-64, 4 cores | 6 cores or more |
| RAM | 8GB | 16GB |
| GPU | Integrated graphics (WebGL) | Discrete GPU, 4GB VRAM or more |
| Browser | Latest Chrome / Edge | Latest Chrome / Edge |
Host PC — on top of the above
- 32GB RAM recommended
- Storage of at least 2.5× the source size
- No internet connection required
- On a server you already have, no GPU is needed
Ever hesitated to open a large dataset?
Waiting ages for tens of gigabytes to load, while the PC crawls?
Open a large scan in dedicated software and loading alone takes a long time while the whole PC slows down — so people hesitate to open it at all. NUBIDA converts it once, then loads only what is in view instead of the whole file.
25GB opens with the same weight as 5GB — and you roam straight away.
Worried your data will leave the building?
Scan data never leaves your network
Raw scans, measurements and field records never go to a cloud. It runs without internet and sends no usage data out.
How it fits together
Scanner
Scanner software
Produces the point cloud and the Gaussian-converted file.
- Scanner vendor's side
Your network
One host PC
Prepares incoming files for the web and keeps them. It is used for work too.
- No separate server
- Raw scans stay here
Other staff PCs
Web browser
Opens the host PC's address and draws the scene with standard WebGL, loading only what is in view.
- Nothing to install
- Chrome / Edge
Measure and analyse on the point cloud; show it photo-real with Gaussians.
Alone or shared — your call
Whether it stays on the host PC or other staff on your network connect to it is up to your organisation. The price is the same either way.
No separate server to buy
The PC you install it on is the server. If you would rather keep it in a server room, it can go on a server you already have.
Only the map backdrop uses an external map API. Turn the map off and it runs fully air-gapped.
5.What does NUBIDA do today?
In a browser, as easy as a game
Roaming is the point
You don't look at it. You walk into it.
This is not a viewer you spin with a mouse. Set eye height, walk in first person, and you see what you would see standing there. That is why staff stop making the trip back to site.
- WSAD and the mouse — as easy as a game
- Adjustable eye height reproduces the real line of sight
- Lighter while moving, full quality the moment you stop
Distance and height
Walk it, then measure it on the spot
Standing where you are in first person, pick points to measure height and distance. Know the clearance between equipment and the room to work before anyone goes on site.
- Height — equipment height from the floor
- Distance — between two points, wall to equipment clearance
- Measurements stay on the spot and go out in the report
Annotation and tagging
Field knowledge accumulates on the 3D itself
Attach information to the exact point in space. Records scattered across drawings, photos and spreadsheets finally get coordinates.
- Drop a marker anywhere, then tag name and category
- Structure / equipment / object / damage / marking / hazard
- Attach photos, video, audio and documents to each marker
- Attach a 3D scan of an object (OBJ · STL) to the point, then turn it and measure it
- Mark it on the spot while walking in first person
Used for
Share · notify · resolve · confirm
Tap the notification, land on the spot
An issue is posted at its exact place in the space. Set an owner and a due date and the owner is notified; tapping the notification opens the site at that very point. Fix photos and the sign-off pile up in the same record, so the space itself becomes the work board.
- 01
Share
Post the issue on the spot with @owner and a due date
- 02
Notify
It shows up in the owner's notifications and to-do list
- 03
Go there
One tap takes you to that point
- 04
Report
Cause, plan and fix as replies with photos
- 05
Confirm
The person who raised it signs off — or sends it back
The history rolls up into a yearly maintenance report from the site overview. A spot found in thermal goes into the same flow with one click on [Raise as issue].
Routes and viewpoint replay
A walkthrough video, from clicks alone
Click the waypoints and a site tour comes out. No editing software, no specialist.
- 01Click waypoints — In order, in 3D
- 02Route is generated — Travel time per leg
- 03Camera drives itself — Viewpoint replayed along the route
Presentation views (front, side, plan, bird's-eye) and first person are both supported, exported as WebM.
When you have to show it, and the source cannot leave
Research institutes have to show their method and their results to the press and to investors. The actual result data cannot leave for security reasons, so a separate explanatory set had to be produced. In NUBIDA, drawing a route produces the video.
The source stays inside. Only what you meant to show goes out.
RTK coordinates
A cloud of points with no origin, placed on the map
A scan on its own is a relative-coordinate blob with no origin. Feed it RTK survey values to assign absolute coordinates, and from then on it overlays a map and can be found by address.
- Map overlay — see where the scanned space actually is
- Reverse-geocode coordinates into an address
- RTK quality diagnosis (FIXED / FLOAT)
- Tilted scan floors levelled by XY alignment
In one product
Point cloud and Gaussian
Measuring and showing are different jobs. NUBIDA keeps point clouds, Gaussians and 3D scans of objects in one product, each in its own dedicated viewer.
Point cloud
The measuring side. Distance, height, volume and sections on real coordinates.
Gaussian 3D
The showing side. It looks photographic but it is an approximation, so it is not used for precise measurement.
3D scan
The single-object side. Open the mesh (OBJ · STL) attached to a point record on its own, turn it and measure lengths and sections.
Virtual tour service
A Gaussian virtual tour — on your website, from one link
Material you are free to make public can be turned into a Gaussian virtual tour, hosted on your own server or on J3D's, and published on your website by link. It works in a press release or an email too. The recipient roams it in a browser with nothing to install.
01Host it on your own server
Upload to your server and create the link. Even the tour files never leave your organisation.
02Host it on J3D's server
No server? Upload to J3D's server and receive a link. Hosting period and size are agreed with you.
On your website, this one line is enough
<iframe src="https://tour.nubida.kr/dasan-gs/index.html" style="width:100%;aspect-ratio:16/10;border:0" allow="fullscreen; xr-spatial-tracking" allowfullscreen loading="lazy"></iframe>
Raw scans stay inside your network; your organisation chooses which tours to publish. Gaussian is for showing, not for measurement.
How do you ask for a feature?
Just capture it and send it. The feature changes
Need a new feature, or found a bug? Don't overthink it — use the feedback tool. Grab the screen, mark it, save, and email the file as it is. Done.
- 01
Capture an area
Drag over the part of the screen you mean
- 02
Pick a type
New feature · improvement · bug report
- 03
Mark it
Point it out with the pen and add a note
- 04
Save and email
Send the saved file as it is. PC specs and error logs are included automatically
6.What did the field ask for?
Add only the features you need
Every tool here was built from a field request. Each attaches and detaches on its own, so only what you need ships.
which site asked for it
we need length and area off a section
2D section
standardCut anywhere for a vertical or horizontal section. Slide the position and watch it update.
which site asked for it
we need the quantity in the pile, and how many trucks that is
Pile volume
Select an area and the volume above the datum plane is integrated — earthwork quantities and haulage conversion included.
which site asked for it
we need river deposition and scour as contours
River contours (deposition & scour)
Divide height from a datum plane to read the terrain at a glance. Division count and interval are adjustable.
which site asked for it
how much has the riverbed moved between surveys
River change over time (deposition & scour)
Compare dredging before and after, track deposition, and read riverbed change across flood events.
which site asked for it
thermal capture works, but there is nothing to do with it
Thermal time-series analysis
Walk under the roof a drone cannot reach and capture temperature across the whole space. Overlay layers per survey, compare deviation by colour, and track the trend at a given point. A changed spot goes straight to an owner with [Raise as issue].
You can explain why the number differs
Volume figures usually diverge between vendors because the datum plane differs. NUBIDA lets the user inspect and set that datum, so the basis of the number can be explained.
7.Where does NUBIDA go next?
NUBIDA_your own work
The more features you add, the more NUBIDA grows into a platform built for that line of work. Different work needs different things, so each grows its own way.
The words on screen become your words
Feature names, tag categories and report titles, all in the language of your work.
For example
- SiteIncident scene
- RoamingScene walkthrough
- Annotation and taggingEvidence record
- Structure · Equipment · DamageEvidence · Trace · Sample
- Site analysis reportScene examination report
- Expected routeMovement path
Case — "The Missing Gilt-Bronze Incense Burner"
Not just a list of spaces. Lay out statements and facts on the case board in time order, fill the gaps with hypotheses, then walk each line's route again in its space to see if it holds.

What we gave up to make it easy to roam
NUBIDA is for roaming, exploring and recording a space at a working level of detail.
The full original
It does not load every point of the original cloud — only what roaming needs.
Photographic quality
You roam a point cloud or Gaussian file, so it is not photo-real.
Identical measurements
Because not every point is used, values can differ slightly from measuring the full original.
In exchange, it is optimised so you can move through a real space far more easily.
Why J3D
There are three ways to get a tool that fits your site
Ask the manufacturer
An excellent global standard product. It just won't change for one site of yours.
Ask a systems integrator
Capable. The cost and the time start with understanding what you measure and what you keep — learning spatial data from scratch along the way.
J3D
We were already on those sites. We have scanned power plants, electrical facilities and heritage buildings ourselves, and NUBIDA grew by solving those requirements one at a time.
So we understand your story without a translator.
Roam it yourself
Roam it right here in your browser
Scan data from a real plant room. No install, no sign-up — walk around and look into every corner.
3D that looks photographic. It is for walkthroughs and explanation — an approximation, so it is not used for precise measurement.
Plant room · Gaussian 3D
1.14M splats · about 17 MB · Wi-Fi recommended on phones
The data has been reduced for the web. In the product it is used at full resolution, inside your own network.
How to buy & pricing
Each stage is its own contract
There is no large decision up front. You move to the next stage only as far as you have verified.
Process
- 1
Feasibility check
No charge
Check the core features on your own data, and work through your requirements and the development pipeline together.
- 2
Base deployment
Fixed-price contract
J3D handles installation and trains your administrators. Use it, settle which features you need — and budget for development from that.
- 3
Feature development
Separate development contract
The settled requirements are built into features and tested. Done means every acceptance test agreed in advance has passed.
- 4
Maintenance
Annual contract
Bug fixes and compatibility only. New features are never paid from maintenance — they go to a development contract.
- The first contract can bundle base deployment, the first feature and a year of maintenance.
- Each stage is quoted separately.
- Depending on the amount, it can go through a single-source contract.
- Scan data and results are entirely yours. Rights to developed features are set in the contract.
3 lead organisations
Applied first, with no upfront cost
We cannot take on many organisations' requirements at once. So we select a limited number of lead organisations to develop their requirements with us and test the product in the market.
- 01If you already have 3D scan data, we work with the data you hold.
- 02If not, J3D scans your site with an FJD Trion SLAM LiDAR to get started.
- 03NUBIDA is installed for you to use for up to six months. Feature updates and bug fixes continue meanwhile; if you judge it worthwhile, it goes into your budget or to a contract.
- 04If a project built on your requirements is developed, we ask your consent to use limited material from it to promote NUBIDA — with your name and location removed, and only material you have checked.
How do you get started?
An on-site demo or a lead-organisation application both start with one email. We work out together what has to be measured and what has to be kept.
Want to try it on your own site?
One email is enough. You do not need to send us your scan files.
