The VuePod can view many different types of data, but for this post we are going to focus on lidar data. According
to Wikipedia lidar data is defined as a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar). The reflected light is then used to make high
resolution maps and 3D images based on the amount of time it took for the light
to return to its’ source.
