Snapshots for Selective Project Sharing

We have introduced a brand-new viewing option and sharing concept in Sphere XG that enables filtered, view-only copies of your projects in 360°. Share specific snapshots and portions of your project with different stakeholders without showing the full project.

Filters include date, location, categories, and tags, with snapshots shareable via link or to a specific person, all conveniently managed within the project list.

Added Support for ZEB Horizon Datasets

We have added support for cloud processing of ZEB Horizon scan datasets in Sphere XG. This provides a way for users to process raw scans in the cloud-based platform.
