“Due to challenging economic shifts, it is with deep regret and a heavy heart that we have come to the difficult decision to wind down the Aperture Platform and services.”
That is the beginning of the statement from the team over at Outward as they have come to the difficult decision to shut down the Aperture Platform.
For Aperture Platform users, this news has come as a shock –– suddenly, a solution they’ve come to learn and understand, something part of their day-to-day processes is no more. But as with any evolutionary technology, some things are only here to serve us for the short-term, while more complex structures and systems are being built for the long-term.
That is why we see the closure of Aperture as a leading indicator that industry, and the need for 3D product visualization is evolving, it’s adapting into a new phase, whether we know it or not.
