Yado VR

Yado VR B.V. is a Dutch technology firm specializing in the automated processing of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data to create dynamic, true 3D models and maps. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Eindhoven, the company was initiated by a team with extensive experience in point cloud mapping. Anjo De Heus is noted as an Executive Director and an early investor. In June 2016, Yado VR secured an undisclosed amount in a seed funding round led by TMI Investments, a Netherlands-based investment company founded by serial entrepreneur Thijs Manders, to fuel its product vision and growth.

The core of Yado VR's business is its proprietary platform that processes LiDAR data, also known as point cloud mapping, to build highly detailed and accurate 3D representations of physical environments. The company has developed patented add-on solutions that enhance open-source point cloud technology, enabling faster processing speeds and a high degree of accuracy (5-10 cm) for objects like trees, roofs, and other infrastructure. This technology serves clients such as cities and various commercial organizations with both interior and exterior 3D mapping services. The business model centers on developing, marketing, and selling these advanced 3D modeling products.

Yado VR's services produce what it terms "DYNAMIC TRUE 3D Computer Vision," which allows clients to experience realistic digital scenarios. A key feature is the integration of virtual reality interfaces, which enables customers to dynamically interact with the generated 3D maps and models. This capability positions the company at the intersection of 3D mapping and immersive VR experiences, providing practical tools for analysis and visualization in various industries.
