BIMGEOSPACE

BIMGeoSpace
IN DEVELOPMENT

BUILT BY CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS — EXCLUSIVELY

3D reality capture, ReCap-ready scans, and GPS-anchored construction management — in one field tool.

Understand your site. Anchor it to GPS. Manage it in real time. Collaborate across the crew.

// AR SHOWCASE

Geospatial AR in Action

Geospatial lock leveraging VPS where available, with GPS as a fallback — real model placement, real cloud sync. No mockups, no simulations.

// POSITIONING SOURCES

Three Signals. One Lock.

BIMGeoSpace hands off between three positioning sources automatically — you never flip a switch. The accuracy halo turns green when the lock is solid, whichever source is carrying it.

VPS · PRIMARY

Visual Positioning

Google's VPS matches your camera view against global street-level imagery to locate you to the nearest foot — best outdoors, in mapped areas, with good light.

GPS · FALLBACK

Satellite GPS

When VPS coverage is thin or the sky is obstructed, GPS picks up. Less precise than VPS but gets you to the right place — the app keeps working.

ARCORE · LOCAL

World Tracking

The phone's own SLAM holds anchors rock-steady once you're in place, and bridges brief GPS or VPS dropouts without the scene jumping.

Global Coordinates

Every anchor is pinned to real lat/lon/alt. Walk away for a week, come back, and the models are exactly where you left them — for everyone on the team.

Model Viewing & Orientation

Browse placed 3D models anchored to their GPS coordinates. Walk around them — 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.

// PLATFORM OVERVIEW

One Platform. Four Pillars.

Every capability in BIMGeoSpace works together. The phone captures the world; ARCore Geospatial anchors everything to earth-fixed coordinates; teams collaborate in the cloud; and a single workflow tracks equipment, deliveries, safety issues, punch list items, inspections, and 4D visualizations.

RC

// REALITY CAPTURE

Reality Capture

Turn a walk-around into a 3D model. Gaussian Splats, textured meshes, and point clouds — all from the phone's camera and depth sensor.

AR

// GPS-ANCHORED AR

GPS-Anchored AR

Place BIM models at exact lat/lon/alt. Walk through them 1:1 on site. Anchored to global coordinates, persistent across sessions.

DOC

// FIELD DOCUMENTATION

Field Documentation

BIM notes, hazard markers, safety issues, photos — geo-tagged and audit-logged. Immutable records that sync to the web dashboard in real-time.

TEAM

// COLLABORATION

Team Collaboration

Multi-tenant projects, roles, and a shared web dashboard. Everything syncs. Orgs, projects, members — built for crews, not solo users.

// REALITY CAPTURE

Reality Capture

Your phone is a reality capture device. Walk the site and BIMGeoSpace builds dense 3D geometry — from photogrammetry splats to depth-camera point clouds.

PHOTOGRAMMETRY

Gaussian Splats & Textured Meshes

CAPTURE
RESULTS

Two capture modes: Scene for rooms and exteriors, Object for individual assets. Motion-gated capture uses gyroscope and scene consistency checks to reject blurry frames.

Frames upload for GPU training in the cloud. Results come back as Gaussian Splats, textured meshes, and dense point clouds — orbit them in the app the moment training finishes, or drop them back into AR at their captured GPS origin.

GAUSSIAN SPLAT DENSE MESH POINT CLOUD
POINT CLOUD SCANNING

Dense Point Cloud Scanning

Walk through a space and BIMGeoSpace builds a dense, colored point cloud in real-time using the phone's depth sensor. Pause and resume at any time. When you're done, upload the scan to the cloud in one tap.

Every scan is stamped with GPS coordinates and heading at capture start. View scans in the web dashboard's Three.js viewer — orbit, zoom, and measure using known-distance scale calibration.

DEPTH CAMERA GEO-REFERENCED BINARY PLY WEB VIEWER
ALIGN & CALIBRATE

Ground It. Square It. Scale It.

Raw depth scans arrive with arbitrary orientation and scale. The viewer lets you define the real-world frame directly from the cloud — tap floor points to fit a ground plane and lock gravity, tap wall points to square the axes, then declare a known distance between two points to rescale the entire scene. Works on phone or the web dashboard; alignments persist to the cloud and sync to the team instantly.

bimgeospace.emersondigital.dev
01 · GROUND
Fit a Floor Plane

Tap points on the floor. The viewer fits a plane through them and aligns gravity perpendicular — flip the normal if it lands upside-down. Ceilings and landings work the same way.

02 · SQUARE
Square Up to a Wall

Tap points on a wall. The viewer rotates the cloud until that surface is axis-aligned — X along the wall, Y up, Z across the room. An orthonormal frame you can actually navigate.

03 · SCALE
Calibrate with Two Points

Tap two points whose real-world distance you know — a door width, column spacing, a ruler on the floor. Type the measurement and the entire scene rescales. Every measurement in the viewer is now truthful.

Augmented Image Tracking

Print a reference image and attach it to any surface. BIMGeoSpace locks 3D models to the tracked image — then keeps them anchored long after the marker has left the camera view.

FIRST ACQUISITION

Lock On & Anchor

Point the camera at the reference image. The moment it's detected, the 3D model snaps to the marker's position and orientation — world-up correction handles sloped or angled surfaces.

IMAGE TRACKING WORLD-UP LOCK
PERSISTENT

Keeps Its Place

Walk away, look elsewhere, come back — the model stays put. Session anchor conversion means the marker only has to be seen once; after that, the phone's own tracking holds the model in place.

SESSION ANCHORS RE-SNAP ON SIGHT

Three Intuitive Modes

Switch instantly. 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

// FIELD DOCUMENTATION

Field Documentation in Action

Place a BIM note at a GPS coordinate, attach a geotagged photo — all in under a minute. Every record is immutable and audit-logged.

STEP 1

Place a BIM Note

Tap any surface in ADD mode to drop a BIM note at that exact GPS coordinate. Come back days later and it's still right where you left it.

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

Link any BIM note to a photogrammetry splat or point cloud — every anchor can reference a reality capture from the same site.

// INSTANT SYNC

Field to Web in Seconds

The moment you drop a note or attach a photo in AR, it's visible on the web dashboard. Your PM sees the issue before you've walked back to the trailer. Offline? The app queues every action and syncs the instant you reconnect — nothing lost.

REAL-TIME SYNC OFFLINE QUEUE TEAM-VISIBLE
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 — compliance-ready.

Photos and notes sync to the cloud in real-time. Queue offline, sync when connected.

// ANCHOR TYPES

Six Anchor Types

Every anchor you place is one of four types — pick the right one for what you're documenting.

BIM Anchor marker

BIM Anchor

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION

Notes, photos, defects, RFIs — timestamped and immutable. Each anchor can reference a photogrammetry splat or point cloud from the same GPS location.

NOTES PHOTOS AUDIT TRAIL
Hazard Anchor marker

Hazard Marker

SAFETY & HAZARD TRACKING

High-visibility orange billboard in AR. GPS-locked, team-wide, linked to the full Safety Issues workflow with state machine and audit trail.

SAFETY HIGH-VIS TEAM-WIDE
Photogrammetry Anchor marker

Photogrammetry Anchor

REALITY CAPTURE · SPLATS & MESHES

Marks a location for photogrammetry captures. Multiple captures can stack at the same anchor over time — building a history of how that space looked at different points during construction.

SPLATS MESHES TIME-SERIES
Point Cloud Anchor marker

Point Cloud Anchor

DEPTH SCANNING · GEO-REFERENCED

Marks a location for depth-camera point cloud scans. Like the photogrammetry anchor, it supports multiple scans over time at the same GPS point — letting you track how a space changes.

POINT CLOUD GEO-TAGGED TIME-SERIES
Punch List Anchor marker

Punch List Anchor

MANAGEMENT · CREW HANDOFF

Managers drop punch list items at exact GPS locations for the crew to resolve. Track status, attach photo evidence, log completion notes — closed out only when verified on-site.

PUNCH LIST PHOTO EVIDENCE COMING SOON
Inspection Anchor marker

Inspection Anchor

INSPECTIONS · HISTORICAL RECORD

Assign inspection tasks to the crew or log past inspections at the exact spot they happened. Keeps a GPS-anchored history of what was checked, when, and by whom — one tap away in the field.

INSPECTIONS AUDIT HISTORY COMING SOON

Hazard markers are a special case. Placing one kicks off a full safety workflow — state transitions, severity tiers, assignees, audit trail. Here's how that works.

// TEAM & ROLES

Team Collaboration

Built for crews, not solo users.

Orgs → Projects → Members hierarchy — data is scoped per project, never leaks across orgs
3 org roles × 4 project roles — fine-grained access control so field workers see only what they need
Team invites by email with role assignment at invite time
Project switcher on phone and web — switch context without logging out
Rich project metadata: phase, building type, sqft, GC, architect
MULTI-TENANT RBAC EMAIL INVITES
WHERE THIS IS HEADING

The goal is geospatial task management — work flows down from management and status flows back up, all anchored to real places on the site. A superintendent assigns a safety issue. A field engineer arrives, opens the app, and the AR view guides them directly to the GPS-anchored location. They resolve it, attach a photo, and the superintendent gets a ping. No phone tags, no email threads, no ambiguity about where the issue is.

  • Superintendents and PMs assign tasks from the web dashboard
  • Field engineers walk to GPS-anchored locations in AR — no searching
  • Resolution triggers automatic status updates back to management

// ROADMAP

The Road Ahead

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

iOS

iPhone & iPad

ARKit deployment bringing the same GPS-accurate AR, reality capture, and 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

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

LIST

Punch Lists & Inspections

Assign punch list items and inspection tasks to field employees on the job site. Each item is pinned to a GPS location. Employees walk directly to the issue in AR, resolve it, and the status syncs back to management automatically.
