O2 is committed to the continual research and improvement of both our methods and technology. The firm uses sophisticated remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), global positioning, and 3D visualization to support design development as well as to communicate solutions to clients, stakeholders, and the public. O2 specializes in spatially explicit analysis of very large regions and has developed a suite of GIS and other analytic tools to support land use planning and cumulative effects assessment.  Our local, city, and regional landscape visualization tools significantly reduce field survey costs and allow solutions to be evaluated in virtual detail prior to construction.
