Herve Heully

Biography

In a world driven by data, design, and digital transformation, Mr. Herve Heully (french citizenship) stands out as a visionary whose journey combines innovation, resilience, and curiosity. From exploring geomorphology through algorithms to transforming how we navigate 3D environments, his path is marked by a commitment to shaping the future. As Founder of New3S and a pioneer in spatial internet, his story encapsulates the drive to redefine possibility.

Mr. Heully's academic journey was driven by a desire to connect diverse disciplines. With early interests in medicine and life sciences, he ultimately gravitated towards geophysics and computer science. His doctoral studies led him to pioneer methods that translated Earth's hidden layers into visualised 3D models.

I discovered my passion-decoding the unseen through geomatics, he shares. This fusion of natural observation and algorithmic interpretation became the foundation of his innovations.

After transitioning from academic research to industry at Dassault Systemes French 3D PLM / CAD / CAM / CAE worldwide leader, Mr. Heully found himself at the intersection of theory and application. Working a while in customer service, he tackled over 5,000 unique support cases globally. While many focused on isolated technical issues, he excelled at contextual thinking-understanding problems in a broader frame.

Among his achievements is his transformative work in the 3D naval industry. As International Pre-Sales Director at Dassault Systemes and IBM, he led efforts that revolutionised shipbuilding technologies across 41 countries. His strategic leadership earned global recognition, laying a foundation for digital solutions in engineering sectors.

In 2024, his pioneering spirit was rewarded with two patents-one in the US and one in France. These innovations introduced secure, shareable 3D environments online. "Users can now navigate virtual worlds without fear of data compromise," he explains. These patents marked a step in the Internet's evolution into an immersive space.

Mr. Heully's entrepreneurial vision culminated in New3S, his company dedicated to human-centric innovation. Through projects like https://3v.world/en-us and https://la-baule-360.com/fr-fr, he has reimagined the web as a spatial experience. His focus lies in creating tools that free users from conventional limitations, enabling intuitive exploration.

Guided by the belief that "humans are not made to be caged," his work at New3S empowers users to rediscover freedom in the digital realm.

Abstract

Abstract In five years' time, the web will be a 3D universe where we'll navigate like drones, exploring digital territories, manipulating objects and ideas with immersive tactile interfaces. 3D tutorials and 3D printers will enable us to fix almost anything, while collaborative work will replace Taylorization. This freedom of discovery will become addictive and viral. Over 80% of the world will have access to ultra-fast Internet, browsing digital twins of cities, objects, molecules or organs, exploring everything from hardware to health, leisure to safety, right up to the limits of intellectual property. Everything will be accessible, fun and educational, with no apparent risk. But danger lurks: a simple incident (data theft, substitution of a virtual component) could lead to the production of defective, weakened or even dangerous objects, unknowingly integrated into the consumer chain. Traceability will become blurred, and these "modified" objects will represent a real threat. The whole world will become accustomed to "touching" virtually everything, comparing details and testing before buying. Companies that don't respect 3D web standards will disappear, wiped off the map in a matter of months. This reality is no longer fiction: the era of the three-dimensional web is about to take hold, mixing the real and the fake, security and pitfalls. We need to anticipate the risks if we are to take full advantage of this revolution, where innovation rubs shoulders with counterfeiting, and where the invisible becomes an asset. Anticipating the worst to experience the best: that's the challenge of this fascinating new era.
