Hoverinc:在线3D众包地图制作平台是一家3D众包地图创业公司，它利用各种图片来制作 3D 地图，这些图片可以来自智能手机的拍照、无人驾驶飞机的摄影、卫星图片，甚至是家庭电影里的场景图。与Waze有点类似，它也通过其研发的软件实时将这些图片转换为3D地图，目前主要卖给美国军方和政府部门。

这个平台想反映真实的生活行为。其目标不是与Google、苹果或者微软进行竞争，而是为机构组织提供更好的3D地图。

Hover is dedicated to bringing advanced 3D computer vision technology to the marketplace, with a focus on crowdsourced imagery.

Working out of a converted Italian restaurant in downtown Los Altos, we’re a small and unique team of passionate folks united in the goal to deliver the living ambiance and atmosphere of any region, something that the existing 2D map browsing world simply cannot do.

By streamlining locations and opportunities and replacing superfluous clicks and page changes with a seamless, singular and living user interface, Hover delivers the ultimate intuitive browsing experience.

The living 3D model is optimal because it is not a simulation of the real neighborhood, it is the real neighborhood.
