A preview of the upcoming vGIS (www.vGIS.io) functionality – high-accuracy reality mesh /pointcloud data positioned with sub-10cm accuracy. Working with the industry partners, vGIS is bringing reality mesh and pointcloud data into AR. Reality capture is done through a variety of methods offered by vGIS’s partners, which often requires nothing more than a camera phone to complete. An excavation crew may capture the exposed infrastructure a few times, which takes just a couple of minutes to complete. That data can be accessed later – after the hole is filled and paved over. It is a powerful way to collect photographic 3D evidence, document infrastructure details and provide additional information for remote collaboration.
The process is fully automated and doesn’t require manual 3D model preparations. Users simply access company 3D archives, which are built automatically.
The reality mesh is combined with GIS and BIM information in real-time by the vGIS engine, so in a single unified view, the User sees the reality mesh, GIS and BIM information all at once. The possibilities for damage prevention and productivity improvements are endless.
vGIS Utilities (https://www.vgis.io) is the most advanced augmented reality solution for BIM and GIS visualizations. vGIS was designed to create a more productive, enjoyable and safe working environment. The system connects to Esri ArcGIS, Bentley iTwin, Autodesk BIM 360, and other sources to seamlessly convert and aggregate data into powerful, accurate and stable 3D visuals. vGIS Utilities is deployed at over 100 sites across the world to bring real-life benefits to its users.
