DENVER, CO - February 16, 2026 - GeoCue Group today unveiled the TrueView Go Neo at GEO Week 2026, marking a significant step forward in accessible and powerful handheld LiDAR technology. The Neo isn't just an incremental upgrade; it represents a strategic move by GeoCue to broaden the adoption of 3D data capture across a diverse range of industries and user skill levels.

For years, LiDAR - Light Detection and Ranging - has been the gold standard for creating precise 3D models of the world. However, traditional LiDAR systems, often mounted on aircraft or specialized vehicles, were expensive and complex to operate, limiting their use to large organizations and specialized firms. GeoCue has been at the forefront of dismantling these barriers, and the TrueView Go series, culminating in the new Neo, is a testament to that commitment.

The TrueView Go Neo addresses several key limitations of earlier handheld LiDAR solutions. While previous models offered portability, the Neo boasts demonstrable improvements in data capture quality, battery endurance, and physical ergonomics. According to GeoCue CEO Richard Donaldson, "We're excited to expand the TrueView Go series with the Neo. This new model offers a great balance of performance and price, making LiDAR technology more accessible to a wider range of users." This emphasis on affordability is crucial, as it opens doors for smaller businesses, government agencies, and even individual professionals to leverage the power of 3D geospatial data.

Beyond Infrastructure: A Broadening Spectrum of Applications

The applications for the TrueView Go Neo extend far beyond the traditional realm of infrastructure inspection - though that remains a core strength. The enhanced data capture capabilities make it ideal for detailed surveys of bridges, power lines, and other critical infrastructure, enabling preventative maintenance and early detection of potential issues. However, GeoCue is actively promoting use cases in several expanding areas.

• Environmental Monitoring: The Neo's portability and precision are proving invaluable for monitoring changes in vegetation cover, tracking erosion patterns, and assessing the impact of climate change on vulnerable ecosystems. Researchers are utilizing the device to create detailed 3D models of forests, wetlands, and coastlines, facilitating more accurate environmental assessments.
• Emergency Response: In disaster scenarios, timely and accurate geospatial data is paramount. The TrueView Go Neo allows first responders to quickly map damaged areas, assess structural integrity of buildings, and identify safe evacuation routes. Its rapid deployment capability is a game-changer in time-critical situations. We've seen preliminary data from field tests in simulated disaster zones showing a 40% reduction in assessment time compared to traditional methods.
• Construction & BIM: The construction industry is rapidly embracing Building Information Modeling (BIM). The Neo seamlessly integrates with BIM workflows, allowing for accurate as-built surveys, progress monitoring, and quality control. This streamlines the construction process and reduces costly errors.
• Cultural Heritage & Archaeology: Detailed 3D scans of historical sites and artifacts are becoming increasingly common. The TrueView Go Neo enables archaeologists and preservationists to create accurate digital records of fragile cultural heritage, preserving it for future generations.
• Precision Agriculture: Farmers are leveraging the Neo to map field topography, monitor crop health, and optimize irrigation systems. This data-driven approach leads to increased yields and reduced resource consumption.

Technical Specifications & Competitive Landscape

While GeoCue remains tight-lipped on specific technical details, sources indicate the TrueView Go Neo utilizes a next-generation LiDAR sensor with improved range and accuracy. The device also features a more powerful processor and a larger internal storage capacity. Battery life has been extended by nearly 30% compared to the previous TrueView Go model. The unit's compact size and lightweight design further enhance its portability and ease of use.

The handheld LiDAR market is becoming increasingly crowded, with competitors like Trimble, Leica Geosystems, and RIEGL also offering portable scanning solutions. However, GeoCue differentiates itself through its focus on software integration and user experience. The TrueView Go Neo is designed to work seamlessly with GeoCue's suite of geospatial processing and analysis software, providing a complete end-to-end solution.

The Future of Handheld LiDAR

The launch of the TrueView Go Neo signifies a turning point in the world of geospatial data capture. By making LiDAR technology more accessible, affordable, and user-friendly, GeoCue is empowering a new generation of geospatial professionals and unlocking a wealth of possibilities across a wide range of industries. The company plans to release a software development kit (SDK) later this year, allowing third-party developers to integrate the TrueView Go Neo into their own applications and workflows, further expanding its capabilities and reach. This continued innovation cements GeoCue's position as a leader in the rapidly evolving world of 3D geospatial technology.
