The story
The project was first showcased at the Australian Game Developers Conference in 2003.
In 2011, Euclideon gained worldwide attention online when it released a number of video demos showcasing its 'Unlimited Detail' technology, attracting both skepticism and interest from the gaming press. Minecraft developer Markus Persson was critical of the demos, arguing that Euclideon portrays the software as "revolutionary" while it may suffer the same limitations as existing voxel renderers. John Carmack said the technology has "no chance of a game on current gen systems, but maybe several years from now." and Crytek's Cevat Yerli called the technology "definitely credible." Euclideon later released several interviews with CEO Bruce Dell responding to critics' concerns.
In September 2012 Bruce Dell filed a patent describing the rendering algorithm said to be used in Euclideon's software. The patent application was published on 27 March 2014.
The Unlimited Detail Engine was described in a review of DigiDoc Scotland by CyArk as "incredible" and "game changing". Shortly after, Euclideon was a sponsor and attendee at ILMF in Denver, 11–13 February 2013, showcasing Unlimited Detail enabled products.
In May 2013, another demonstration of the capabilities of the Euclideon 3D Engine showcases the Geoverse, where geospatial use is highlighted with the newly offered SDK.
In June 2013 a former employee of Euclidean claimed that a significant number of staff were let go, mentioning that clients were very impressed with Euclideon's technology and that plans are in place to develop the Infinite Detail engine to "a stage where it could eventually be utilised for games".
Euclideon appeared again in 2014 with a new video on their YouTube channel showcasing their solid laser scan technology and announced that they are currently working on 2 games and plan to open a gaming division in 2015.
In 2016 Euclideon released another video in which it described its approach to the VR (virtual reality) market as "revolutionary", claiming to have created real-life hologram rooms. They've announced that they will open a 4D hologram room entertainment arcade on 4 June 2016 located at Southport, Queensland, Australia. The project itself goes under the name "Holoverse".

In August 2017, Euclideon developed multi-user hologram table, which allows four people to interact simultaneously with images projected onto the table surface.
In November 2018, Euclideon released a video unveiling what it calls a 'hologram arcade table'. In the video, Bruce Dell described it as an arcade table that uses 'holographic technology' to play games, and that the table 'creates objects out of light that float in the air about 90 centimeters away from the surface'. Euclideon displayed their hologram arcade table at IAAPA 2018 in Orlando, Florida.
In July 2020, Euclideon released udStream, a 3D data visualisation tool aimed at geospatial users. The product was released on a freemium model, offering capped levels of data storage to entry-level customers.
