BIMGeoSpace

BIMGeoSpace

Place 3D models at exact GPS coordinates. Document your site in augmented reality. Sync everything to the cloud.

GPS-anchored. Field-ready. Works offline. Syncs when connected.

Geospatial AR in Action

Live AR capture — real GPS lock, real model placement, real cloud sync. No mockups, no simulations.

VPS Global Coordinates

Google's Visual Positioning System locks your device to real-world latitude, longitude, and altitude. The accuracy halo turns green at sub-4ft precision.

Model Viewing & Orientation

Browse placed 3D models anchored to their GPS coordinates. Walk around them, inspect from any angle — they hold their global orientation across sessions.

Tap-to-Place 3D Models

Select a model from your library and tap any surface. Pumps, tanks, filters — each one drops at the exact GPS coordinate, ready for your team to view in AR.

Every Component Tells a Story

BIM (Building Information Modeling) attaches rich data to every physical component in a facility.

Filter model FILTERS

Instead of paper binders and spreadsheets, your facility's documentation lives in 3D. Every pipe, pump, tank, and valve carries metadata — model numbers, flow rates, inspection dates, maintenance history.

BIMGeoSpace puts that data in the field through augmented reality, anchored to exact GPS coordinates. Walk up to any component on-site and see its full history overlaid in AR.

Interactive 3D Preview

Explore a real BIM model from the app. This pump station is one of many models that can be placed at GPS coordinates in AR.

The Web Dashboard

Manage your entire site from a browser. Every anchor placed in the field syncs to a georeferenced map in real-time.

LIVE DEMO

Anchor Sync Command Console

Every anchor placed in the field appears on a Leaflet-powered site map in real-time. Browse anchors, view attached photos, and read timestamped notes — all from your desktop browser.

Satellite and street views with live AWS cloud sync. Click any marker to see its full documentation history, coordinates, and geotagged photos.

Model & Image Management

Upload 3D models and augmented images directly from the web dashboard. Assign them to anchors and they hot-reload on every connected device — no app restart needed.

Manage your entire model library from the browser. Add new GLB models, configure augmented image targets, and deploy to the field in seconds.

3D MODELS AUG. IMAGES HOT-RELOAD

Augmented Image Tracking

Print a reference image and attach it to any surface. BIMGeoSpace locks 3D models to the tracked image, even on sloped or angled surfaces, using world-up correction.

Models persist via session anchor conversion — they stay visible even when the marker leaves the camera view, then re-snap when the marker is detected again.

Upload and manage augmented image targets from the web dashboard — they hot-reload on every device in seconds.

IMAGE TRACKING WORLD-UP LOCK SESSION ANCHORS

Three Intuitive Modes

Switch between modes instantly. Designed for one-handed operation in the field.

+

ADD Mode

Tap any surface to place a 3D model or BIM anchor at that GPS location

i

POLL Mode

Tap existing anchors to view details, add notes, or attach photos

DELETE Mode

Tap anchors to remove them from the scene and cloud storage

Two Anchor Types

Every marker you place in the field is GPS-anchored and synced to the cloud. Choose the right anchor for the job.

BIM Anchor marker — green pin with B

BIM Anchor

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION

The core documentation tool. Drop a BIM anchor at any GPS coordinate to record construction observations, track materials, log defects, or mark survey points. Each anchor supports an unlimited, timestamped note trail and photo attachments.

Timestamped notes with categories — defect, observation, RFI, update
Photo attachments auto-stamped with GPS, altitude, time, and author
Immutable audit trail — notes can't be edited or deleted after creation
Syncs to AWS and appears on the web dashboard in real-time

Hazard Anchor marker — orange pin with exclamation mark

Hazard Marker

SAFETY & HAZARD TRACKING

Flag safety hazards on-site so your entire team sees them in AR. The orange marker is instantly recognizable in the camera view. Document the hazard with notes and photos, and it syncs to the dashboard for site-wide safety awareness.

Both anchor types render as billboard sprites in the AR scene — they always face the camera so you can spot them from any angle. In ADD mode, choose your anchor type before tapping a surface. In POLL mode, tap either type to view its full note history and attached photos.

Field Documentation in Action

Two real workflows captured on-site. Place a BIM note at a GPS coordinate, then attach a geotagged photo — all in under a minute.

STEP 1

Place a BIM Note

Tap any surface in ADD mode to drop a BIM note at that exact GPS coordinate. The note locks to the real world — come back days later and it's still right where you left it.

Every note is automatically stamped with coordinates, altitude, timestamp, and author. The accuracy halo shows signal quality in real-time.

GPS PRECISION GEOSPATIAL API AUTO-STAMPED
STEP 2

Attach a Photo

Switch to POLL mode and tap any existing note. Snap a photo and it's automatically geotagged with coordinates, timestamp, and your name — ready for compliance records.

Photos and notes sync to the cloud in real-time. Your team sees updates on the web dashboard instantly, or they queue offline and sync when you're back in range.

GEOTAGGED CLOUD SYNC AUDIT TRAIL

Point Cloud Scanning

Capture detailed 3D geometry of real-world environments directly on your phone. Geo-referenced, cloud-synced, and ready for professional workflows.

NEW FEATURE

Scan → Export → Cloud

Walk through a space with your phone's depth camera and BIMGeoSpace builds a dense, colored point cloud in real-time. Up to 2 million voxels captured with intelligent memory management — 30-minute continuous scans on consumer hardware without a hitch.

Every scan is automatically geo-referenced with WGS84 GPS coordinates, altitude, and heading. Export as binary PLY, upload to AWS in one tap, and view on the web dashboard's Three.js-powered 3D viewer.

Model Overlay Pipeline

Scan a building exterior, export the point cloud, then model it in Revit or SketchUp. Upload the GLB to the web dashboard with the scan's GPS origin and BIMGeoSpace auto-places it as a geo-anchor — no manual positioning needed.

Toggle the model overlay on and off in AR to compare your 3D design against the real-world structure. Changes on the dashboard sync to every device in the field within 30 seconds.

The Road Ahead

BIMGeoSpace is Android-first today. Here's where it's going.

iOS

iPhone & iPad

ARKit deployment bringing the same GPS-accurate AR and real-time cloud sync to iOS. Field teams pick whatever device they carry — Android or Apple — and the data meets in the same cloud.

BIM+

Expanded Anchor Classes

Beyond 3D models and notes. Electrical panels, HVAC zones, structural members, MEP systems, fire suppression — each with specialized data schemas, inspection checklists, and compliance workflows built in.
