iTwin Capture Mobile
iTwin Capture Mobile is a reality capture application for iOS that uses augmented reality to guide professional surveyors in creating 3D models.
The App DNA
What makes this app unique?
Users hire this tool to convert physical site conditions into digital twins for infrastructure projects, shifting the burden of high-compute processing to the cloud.
For Surveyors, engineering firms, and municipal professionals requiring precise 3D digital twins for infrastructure projects.
What does it look like?
Key features
Real-time augmented reality feedback on data quality and completeness during acquisition
Uploads raw imagery and lidar point clouds to Bentley cloud services for 3D model generation
How much does it cost?
Freemium model separates data acquisition from compute-heavy processing, gating high-value 3D model generation behind engine or cloud subscriptions.
