The Power of Photogrammetry Meets AR
Photogrammetry, the art and science of using drone-captured images to create precise 3D models, is a cornerstone of Drone e-motion’s services. By using drones to map and capture structures, buildings, and landscapes, the French company produces highly detailed photos, videos, and 3D models that showcase every curve, texture, and dimension of the object. But what makes this truly revolutionary is the next step: integrating these 3D models with PausAR.
With the PausAR Viewer, Drone e-motion’s website can now showcase photogrammetry models like the windmill Moulin à vent de Frouville (located in France, Ozoir-le-Breuil – 28200) in 3D and AR. This allows users to interactively explore these models, bringing history and innovation to life with the following features:
- Explore models interactively: Rotate, zoom, and inspect the 3D model with ease in a fullscreen 3D view directly on Drone e-motion’s WordPress website.
- Experience in AR: Place the life-sized windmill in a real-world environment, scaling it down (or up) to offer customers a deeper understanding of scale and structure.
- Share with stakeholders: Easily embed 3D and AR content made by Drone e-motion’s photogrammetry services on the website, making it accessible without the need for technical expertise or additional apps.

A Use Case: Bringing Historic Windmills to Life
The historic windmil, Moulin à vent de Frouville (France, Ozoir-le-Breuil – 28200) serves as a prime example of Drone e-motion’s photogrammetry services. Using drones, they captured every detail of this windmill—from its intricate blades to its weathered stone base—to create a highly accurate 3D model. This model was then seamlessly integrated onto Drone e-motion’s WordPress Elementor website with the PausAR Viewer plugin, enabling them to showcase it directly on their website in both 3D and AR without any coding.
The result? A truly immersive experience that allows viewers to:
- Place the historic windmill in their environment via AR to appreciate its size and architecture.
- Discover every detail in PausAR’s fullscreen 3D viewer mode to gain a better understanding of its craftsmanship.
This project not only showcases the capabilities of photogrammetry and web AR but also highlights the potential to present services like photogrammetry in a more memorable, engaging way—and quite seamlessly brings history to life.
Why PausAR Is the Perfect Partner for Drone e-motion
Drone e-motion’s innovative approach to drone-based modeling pairs seamlessly with the capabilities of the PausAR Viewer. Here’s why:
- Ease of Use: With PausAR’s WordPress plugin, 3D and AR models can be embedded into websites with just a few clicks—no coding required.
- Device Compatibility: The 3D viewer works across all major browsers, and the AR mode is supported on over 2.8 billion devices, ensuring accessibility for a wide audience.
- Interactivity: Website visitors can engage with models in ways that static images simply can’t match, whether it’s rotating a model or placing it in their environment using AR.
Expanding the Horizon: Applications Beyond Windmills
While the 3D-modeled windmill is a standout example, the combination of Drone e-motion’s photogrammetry and PausAR’s AR capabilities has far-reaching applications:
- Infrastructure Planning: Visualize bridges, towers, or pipelines in AR to understand their placement and scale before construction begins.
- Heritage Preservation: Document and share historical landmarks, making them accessible to a global audience.
- Real Estate Marketing: Create immersive property “dollhouses” that allow buyers to visualize future homes in their own space.
- Environmental Monitoring: Use 3D & AR to display changes in terrain or vegetation over time using animations.
A Vision for the Future
By combining the precision of drone-based photogrammetry with the interactivity of web 3D and AR, Drone e-motion is setting a new standard for visualization and engagement. With the PausAR Viewer, they’re not only making complex data more accessible but also inspiring new ways to experience the world around us.
Whether it’s showcasing a historic windmill or planning modern infrastructure, the partnership between Drone e-motion and PausAR is proof that innovation thrives at the intersection of technology and creativity.
