On Kiritimati Island (pronounced kee-ris-muh s) our team partnered with Sam Johnson and the World Bank Transport team to visualize how sustainable transportation infrastructure can support both current and future residents on the world's largest coral atoll.
High resolution 3D map tiles have become a popular choice for adding immersive local context to 3DStreet scenes. However, sometimes the most interesting places on Earth have the least availability of detailed 3D map tiles -- such as large parts of Africa and South America. Even for locations with detailed 3D tiles coverage, we've heard from users that sometimes the realism of the 3D tiles can distract from the focus of presenting proposed street projects.
In these cases, our new integration with Open Street Map (OSM) offers new dimensions to our mapping capabilities.

Hi, I’m Tyler Riedell, a fourth-year product design student at the University of Oregon. This past summer, I had the privilege of collaborating with the incredibly talented team at 3DStreet to release several open-source street safety and sidewalk prop models.
3DStreet now supports Microsoft login, making it easier for users with Microsoft accounts to access our platform. This update also includes important information for administrators on how to enable 3DStreet for their organization.
My name is Sam Rothstein and I’m happy to share my work on a new street intersection component for 3DStreet. This is a first version of a highly requested feature and I'm looking forward to seeing what the 3DStreet community can create.
In this post I'll share how I got involved in 3DStreet, the features of the Intersection component, and what's coming next!
I'm Luke Walker, a recent graduate of the Immersive Media Communications Master's program from the University of Oregon and I'm proud to share the open-source release of 3D traffic safety device models as a result of a collaboration with the University of Oregon’s Incubating Interdisciplinary Initiatives (I3) 2023 award program for "Developing Augmented Reality (AR) Visualization Tools to Increase Sustainable Transportation."
The I3 program fosters new research projects across disciplines, in this case communications & planning -- advised by Dr. Danny Pimentel in UO's School of Journalism and Communication, Dr. Marc Schlossberg in UO's School of Planning, Public Policy and Management with 3DStreet serving as an outside technical partner.
A heartfelt thanks to our intrepid group of first customers of 3DStreet Geospatial Pro since our launch 11 days ago. We’re honored by your support of a product still in the making, and to give thanks back we’d like to share these newly released features that you have directly funded and requested.
We’re thrilled to announce the early access launch of 3DStreet Geospatial Pro introducing groundbreaking 3D map integrations, drag-and-drop 3D model placement, augmented reality features, and more.
Community advocate Andrew Seigner used 3DStreet Geospatial Pro to propose a few alternative treatments for a Hayes Street Promenade in San Francisco.
In San Francisco's Mission Bay neighborhood, community leaders used 3DStreet's rapid prototyping service to create a 3D digital twin of proposed street safety improvements around a new elementary school, helping them effectively advocate for the project with city officials and stakeholders.
At the recent Caltrans EAC meeting a host of agency professionals, community leaders and technology experts like 3DStreet’s own Kieran Farr shared expertise on the global trend of community-led planning and the current blockers preventing local stakeholders from engaging with local transportation agencies. Below is a summarization of the presentation to share our learnings from practitioners around the world experimenting with community-led design.
