Interactive Visualization Systems' (IVS3D) Fledermaus software suite provides users with a set of interactive 3D visualization tools for data preparation, analysis and pres- entation. Fledermaus allows users near real-time, interac- tive 3D display of very large complex scenes at their full resolution. Users gain insight and extract more informa- tion from their combined data (data sets such as multi- beam, LIDAR, magnetic and gravity, in fact any surface data that has an x, y, z, variables format). Fledermaus is used across many industries by a variety of disciplines such as geoscientist, oceanographers and hydrographers. It can be used as a tool to assess environmental and geological hazards, plan drilling locations, rig placements, or pipeline and cable routes.

IXSEA's seismic, sonar and magnetometer imagery solutions integrate hardware with interpretation tools. As an example, SHADOWS is the first commercially avail- able Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS). SHADOWS pur- ports to double the resolution while reducing survey costs by one-third. SHADOWS is compatible with GAPS and
