At LumiDB, we’re building a database for reality capture data that makes handling big point cloud datasets easy, accessible and fun. Request access to the private beta to try it out!
Our new feature, Swipe Compare, lets users interactively slide between two aligned datasets, revealing changes with precision, whether in construction sites, urban development, or asset monitoring.

Swipe Compare overlays two point cloud datasets and introduces a draggable vertical slider. Move the bar left or right to reveal either scan, instantly exposing differences like structural additions, terrain changes, or removed vegetation.
All standard LumiDB capabilities apply in Swipe Compare mode. Users can issue spatial queries, filter by classification or custom metadata, and zoom freely through the scene while sliding between datasets. As always with LumiDB, the data can come from any source: aerial, terrestrial, mobile, or aggregated from multiple sources.

Available now
Swipe Compare is live and available to all LumiDB users. There's nothing to install or activate, just select two aligned datasets and start exploring changes. Watch the video below for a quick walkthrough of how to use this in the LumiDB browser-based viewer.

More updates are on the way. Stay tuned and request access if you’d like to join the private beta for upcoming features.
