vGIS Platform

vGIS is a visualization platform that transforms traditional BIM, GIS, Reality Capture and other types of spatial data into stunning augmented reality visuals. vGIS aggregates data from multiple sources, including Autodesk models, Bentley BIM designs and Esri ArcGIS, to display it in a unified augmented reality view.

vGIS is hardware-agnostic. It can run on any suitable device, including Android and iOS phones, tablets, and Microsoft HoloLens, which allows you to select the optimal tools for the job.

vGIS was designed to give users the best of both worlds: survey-grade accuracy and the ability to use the system on consumer devices without any additional hardware. The system comes with multiple calibration methods that allow indoor and outdoor positioning.
