Hi there,

We’re excited to bring you this month’s updates. We’ve rolled out new data format support, smoother capture tools on iOS, and early access features that make exploring and sharing your work even easier. Here’s everything that’s new.

New Features

Web App

Support for OmniSLAM Spherical Datasets

Users can now upload and explore OmniSLAM spherical outputs directly in SKAND. Supported formats include LAS and LAZ for point clouds, and JPG, JPEG, and PNG for panorama images.

See how easy it is to work with OmniSLAM datasets. Read the full documentation to get started.

Early Access

Web App

Views

Save and share the exact state of your Explore workspace with teammates. We’ve also made improvements to the UI and overall workflow so saving and loading Views feels smoother and more intuitive.

Executable annotations

You can now customize annotation icons and set specific actions that occur when they’re clicked. We’ve also added a new set of default icons that better match what our users have been requesting.
