Paul Spaur is the CEO of Spaur Group, an aerial mapping, 3D scanning (Digital Twins), and Uncrewed Aerial Systems (drone) business consultation company. The company is also pioneering new ways using Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) to interact with the data. He is also the CEO of METAGEO, a 3D GIS platform that brings data from these sensors into the digital world and connects it with the metaverse. His work earned him an Emmy nomination for 3D scanning several Olympic mountain venues in Switzerland, and allowing the audience to use their phones to put the mountains in their living room, and follow the athletes in AR/VR, for the 2020 Youth Olympics.
