15<p>VRGS (Virtual Reality Geological Studio) provides an integrated software solution to visualise, interpret and analyse 3D geological datasets of virtual outcrops. It enables users to import large datasets from Lidar and Structure from Motion (SfM)/photogrammetry, create and visualise ultra-high-resolution models in 3D in VR or desktop mode, and deploy a comprehensive suite of analytical tools to describe and interpret key geological features such as bedding, faults, and fractures.</p>
16<h1>Interpretation and analysis by design</h1>
17<p>VRGS was conceived and designed as a commercial product, from an academic base. It’s a 3D visualisation, interpretation, and analysis software and toolkit designed by experts with nearly 40 years of experience in the field of 3D digital outcrop modelling.</p>
18<p>Read more about the motivation for <em>VRGS</em> by its <a href="https://www.vrgeoscience.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">
