Discover 3D works in conjunction with Discover 2D providing a seamless link from traditional 2D into 3D GIS. 

Discover is designed to meet the needs of geologists, environmental scientists, 
cartographers, exploration managers, and petroleum engineers. 

Share your Discover 3D environments using the free Discover Viewer, where users can 
visualise and fully interact with any pre-created Discover 3D session.
