Using the single page Eptium application at viewer.copc.io

The browser-based COPC viewer called Eptium available at viewer.copc.io works really well for our applications. Can we continue to use it at that address with our own data?

Yes. Hobu, Inc. reserves the right to limit application access or remove the website entirely, as it is provided at its cost. That said, it is a single web page application with Hobu, Inc. branding. There is no intention of doing so at this time.

What is Eptium?

It is a React application that provides Cesium interop with COPC and COG along with a complete lidar point cloud interaction application that can be extended with your own applications. Email howard@hobu.co to find out more and to obtain a demo SDK to test developing with it.
