DO MORE WITH YOUR BIM AND GIS

An AR solution with centimeter-level accuracy from vGIS transforms traditional BIM engineering designs and flat GIS data into real-time augmented reality displays and holograms overlaid on your view of a physical job site.

Use a device already in your pocket like an Android phone, iPhone, or a tablet—or even the futuristic Microsoft HoloLens—to observe your designs and underground utility infrastructure as you tour a work area. Buildings, water and sewage systems, gas and electrical lines, and other structures appear in your field of view as a natural extension of the real world.

vGIS creates instant and comprehensive awareness of your surroundings, saving you time and helping you avoid costly mistakes and delays.

Explore the case study below to learn about the real-life benefits of vGIS.

Industry Case Study

Why vGIS augmented reality?

vGIS natively integrates with Autodesk BIM360, Bentley iTwin, Esri ArcGIS, and other BIM and GIS formats to create accurate augmented reality (AR) views of surrounding infrastructure on the project site.

Being able to see the current and proposed infrastructure as 3D objects gives you a greater understanding of your surroundings, increases productivity, reduces errors, and provides a safer work environment.

A few of many reasons to deploy vGIS:

Highly accurate visuals (accurate to within a centimeter)
A user-friendly UI and an easy adoption process
Automated data conversion
Complete productivity workflows
Leading functionality depth
Collaboration and remote assistance tools
