Hi maintainers,

I've been building copcesium, a CesiumJS data source for streaming COPC point clouds — it fetches only the octree nodes visible to the camera instead of downloading the whole file, and flies to/colors/filters the dataset out of the box.

Live demo: https://copcesium.vercel.app/ (streams datasets up to ~52 GB / 9.7B points)

It's still evolving, but it's published on npm and MIT-licensed, so I wanted to add it here in case it's useful to others working with COPC + Cesium. Happy to adjust the entry's wording, or hold off if it's premature — let me know what you think.

CesiumJS provider for real-time COPC point cloud streaming and rendering.

Please update your example site with some kind of credits for using all of our data sources.

Please update your example site with some kind of credits for using all of our data sources.

Thanks for flagging this — you're right that we should have been crediting the data we've been relying on.

We've added examples/DATA_SOURCES.md, which credits the origin of each sample dataset used across our four examples, verified by reading each file's LAS/COPC header directly and cross-checking against primary sources where possible. It also notes that most of these files are hosted in the hobu-lidar bucket by Hobu, Inc.

The example UIs now link to this file directly — right below the dataset picker in the simpler examples, and alongside a per-dataset credit line in the Info panel of the fuller ones.

Really appreciate Hobu making all of this data so easily streamable — it's what made these examples possible in the first place. Let us know if anything looks off or if there's an attribution you'd rather see stated differently.
