Based in Mountain View, California, Keyhole was founded in January 2001 by Internet and 3D graphics veterans. The company secured $4.6 million in Series A financing, led by Sony Broadband Entertainment's 550 Digital Media Ventures, to build and market the premier set of rich mapping services. The company has received additional investments from NVIDIA corporation and from Oakstone Ventures.

Keyhole has mastered the difficult task of fusing massive vector, image and points of interest (POI) datasets into a multi-terabyte 3D model of the globe, compiling this data into a scalable server environment, and delivering this data using patent-pending technology to PCs, PDA's, set-top boxes and wireless devices.

The Company's service revolves around the proprietary EarthSystem solution, which will transform the way users interact with their world over the Internet and connected devices. By providing terabytes of overhead and point of interest (POI) imagery data on demand, a turn-key ASP solution, integration of customer data, and a flexible client architecture, EarthSystem delivers a new perspective on the world and on the enterprise.

Keyhole's EarthSystem fuses vectors, images, and POIs into a single, seamless dataset to create the ultimate geographic reference platform.

Keyhole's EarthSystem offers service-provider scalability and reliability. Large customers with demanding or proprietary needs can also host the entire environment ( system specifications). Partners can easily publish their own GIS data as overlays onto the Keyhole basemap using a locally deployed EarthStream server. This configuration offers the best of both worlds--an incredibly realistic 3D imagery substrate populated with business critical data. Keyhole's EarthViewer3D client offers a jaw-dropping space-to-face user experience. And Keyhole's EarthViewerHTML and Keyhole's EarthViewerPDA enable access to the rich maps from a variety of connected devices.

The Keyhole EarthSystem was developed using Intrinsic Alchemy, a high-performance game development platform for delivering real-time 3D applications across multiple systems. Intrinsic Alchemy is the first product of Intrinsic Graphics, a Silicon Valley based computer graphics pioneer.
