SiEGA – Release Notes
Welcome to the official release history of SiEGA.
v2.0.0 - Initial Launch
Version 2.0.0 – [June 17, 2025]
Welcome to the official release of SiEGA! This is our first release note, so there isn't too much to say right now. But we'll give you some quick insight on what to expect for future releases! We will make an effort to ship out a new release each time a major improvement or feature is completed, as well as include smaller improvements, bug fixes, etc. as they are completed. During the SiEGA Viewer Preview Program, we had the most efficient development in the history of AERO AI and made frequent updates each month, so expect to see similar progress in the coming months! Here's a quick recap of what was available on release as well as some sneak peeks at future releases.
🚀 New Features
Selecting Mode: A quick way to enter a selecting mode where you can directly interact with assets.
Metadata Mode: Use your mouse pointer to hover over assets containing metadata to easily view the metadata of the object within SiEGA.
Weather: Dynamically update the weather with over 13 different weather options and 24 hour time of day controls.
Local 3D Tilesets: Tile your assets (through Cesium Ion) and locally import them as 3D tilesets into SiEGA through the Data Layers Panel.
🔧 Improvements
Overhauled the design of the Media panel and renamed it, then added the Videos tab within the Media panel.
Complete redesign of the Data Layers Panel with major improvements to the layout and features overall. Moved Datasmith importing and tileset culling to the data layers panel.
Added ConvAI NPC API Key entry as before only character IDs from our company's account would work.
Added settings to set graphics level, choose walk mode character, and set walk mode camera sensitivity.
All tools have been completely redesigned for improved usability, enhanced visual clarity, and significantly reduced performance impact. The updated interface is more vibrant and intuitive, offering a smoother overall experience.
Changed the driving logic behind the search bar to provide more specific results to the text that is being entered into the search bar.
Overall UI enhancements across the entire application.
🐞 Bug Fixes
The entire Presets menu used to completely reset each time you closed and opened it. Now is persistent not only between opening and closing the menu, but can be saved and loaded using the save menu.
Resolved an issue where changing the weather while playing a video in the media tab would cause the user to get teleported a short distance away.
Fixed most occurrences where user can fall through the world into the dark abyss below while in walk mode.
Toned down the sensitivity of the fly mode panning and zooming, especially the closer the user gets to the earth.
🔮 Coming Soon
Viewshed: A tool that allows users to analyze visibility within a 3D environment by showing what areas are visible or obstructed from a specific point. When placed in the scene, the viewshed projects a visual cone indicating the line of sight, typically using color to distinguish visible and hidden areas. This is useful for applications like surveillance planning, camera placement, and understanding sightlines in urban or natural landscapes.
Presentor: A feature in SiEGA that allows users to upload and display images and videos directly within the 3D scene. This tool is designed for guided presentations, enabling content to be projected in the environment and viewed by others in real time. Whether showcasing site plans, visual references, or multimedia explanations, the Presenter feature enhances communication and storytelling within collaborative sessions by anchoring visual content to specific locations in the project space.
Virtual Reality Mode: A feature that offers an immersive way to explore and interact with your 3D environment using a VR headset. This mode allows users to experience scenes at a human scale, walk through environments, and engage with spatial data in a fully immersive setting. Ideal for design reviews, stakeholder presentations, and interactive simulations, Virtual Reality Mode enhances spatial understanding and adds a new dimension to geospatial exploration within the SiEGA platform
GeoJSON Importing: Users will be able to seamlessly and dynamically import GeoJSON files and visualize them all over the globe.
Cloud Saving: Will allow streaming users to be able to have persistent saves, even over the cloud.
Artificial Intelligence Assistant: There will be an AI Assistant who will be there to assist you through SiEGA at any moment. Further developments to this feature may also include ways to enhance the SiEGA environment through advanced image, video, and model generation.
There were so many changes since the beginning of the SiEGA Viewer Preview Program, so the ones you see above are just the biggest changes we decided to include. Make sure to keep updated as we continue to release updates as the future release notes will be more specific. We're also actively working on the features in the Coming Soon section, so if any of them excite you, please let us know! That's all for now. See you in version 2.0.1 !
