The Earth from space with cities lit as connected network hubs on one globe
Platform · ORB World

The reality itself, 1:1 on datum.

Not a basemap and not a picture of the world — the world itself, held to scale on its coordinate datum. The city and everything beneath it, above ground and below, on one globe.

SPACE · THE TWIN
One measured world, not a stack of disconnected maps.

Most tools give you layers that never quite agree — a cable map here, a soil profile there, a survey in its own projection. ORB World is the opposite: a single twin on one datum, where the surface, the buildings and the subsurface occupy the same coordinate truth. What you place on it is placed against the real ground, at real depth, at real scale.

Above ground

The city as it stands

Buildings, terrain and surface at 1:1, read from measured height and imagery — not a stylised model but the place itself.

Below ground

Everything beneath it

Cables, pipes, soil and structures on the same globe, at the depth they actually sit — the underground stops being an afterthought.

One datum

A single coordinate truth

Every source lands on the same datum, so a bore, a plot boundary and a soil layer line up instead of drifting apart.

THE LAYERS · ABOVE AND BELOW
Real layers on one globe — not a render, the measured world.

Zoom from space to a single street. Every layer lands on the same datum, above ground and below — and the sea level is a slider, not a picture.

Surface

Aerial 25 cm · measured elevation · large-scale base map · cadastre.

Built

3D buildings, measured to true height (LoD 2.2) · building year.

Below ground

Cables & pipes · subsurface 3D X-ray · soil soundings · look-through.

Nature

Detected trees, greenery — vitality, shade and heat stress.

Climate

Sea level & water volume · heat and flood over the real terrain.

Live

Air quality, water levels, traffic and sensors — the twin kept current.

WHAT A TWIN ACTUALLY IS
Objects + geometry + events — not a pretty render.

ORB World is the engine’s object graph made visible. Every thing on the globe is an object with explicit geometry — point, line, polygon, mesh, BIM, voxel — and its own history of events. Raise the sea level and you are not editing a picture; you are running a scenario over the same measured objects, and every affected address is a real one.

One engine. One account. Your own ORB.
