App description

Use BIM2XR to capture and visualize your 3d model in AR or VR on iPhone or IPad

V7.0 has the following features:

  1. Capture a digital twin (ifc) of your location. (requires an IOS device with lidar camera)
  2. Turn your device into a remote control to step through your model using screen mirroring.
  3. Provide the tools to enable you to show your project in 3D or AR on your own website.
  4. Translate any of the supported input formats to USDZ, GLB, SCN and/or DAE.
  5. Option to mail the project in USDZ and GLB format to a 3rd party
  6. Here is a link to get a taste for what the app can do for you.
  7. The menus can be adapted and translated by you, thus allowing the app to support almost any language.
  8. Voice control has been added. Allowing you to position yourself in a room with some simple voice commands.
  9. Provide the ability to build your own texture library to enable more realistic display of the BIM project.

BIM2XR validates the model stored in any of the following file formats

3d, 3ds, ac, b3d, bvh, cob, dae, dxf, ifc, irr, md2, md5mesh, md5anim, m3sd, nff, obj, off, mesh.xml, ply, q3o, q3s, raw, smd, stl, wrl, xgl, zgl, fbx, md3, gltf, glb

The model can be enhanced with textures and event log file.
Use AR/VR headset for an optimal experience.

Here is a link to the ever-growing list of features and tutorials for the app.

Suggested usage for the app:

  1. Use the add file option to create a digital twin of your location.
  2. Show your BIM model in 3D and/or Augmented Reality on your own site.
  3. Show the assembly/building instructions for a BIM model in Augmented Reality.
  4. Show the hidden plumbing/electricity in an existing building using AR.
  5. Walk through your dream house before it is build on a tv set using screen mirroring.
  6. If you’re about to print something in 3D you may want to consider visualizing and scaling your intended project with the app.
  7. If you sell garden cabins, you could add 3D models to your site, to allow your prospective customer to visualize and walk through the “augmented” cabin in his garden.
  8. If you sell d.i.y. garden cabins, you could add IFC and event logs, to show the customer how to assemble the cabin.
