Product portfolio led by Cintoo VR Experience, a new app powered by Unreal Engine
Cintoo has launched Cintoo Metaverse, a new product portfolio designed to bring high fidelity reality capture data to an immersive environment.
The Cintoo VR Experience app is one of two initial apps in the Cintoo Metaverse portfolio. The VR app, which runs on Unreal Engine and is cloud-connected to the Cintoo platform, is designed to extend Cintoo’s collaboration and decision-making capabilities.
It allows project managers, engineers and installers to navigate reality models at a true-to-life 1:1 scale on ‘almost any’ VR device, as well as compare as-builts to as-designed by overlaying scans with 3D models.
3D scans and 3D models are all streamed from the Cintoo Cloud in real time, at the same high mesh resolution as the source point cloud thanks to Cintoo’s TurboMesh engine. According to Cintoo, no preparation work or pre-production is required.
To navigate around the reality model, the Cintoo VR Experience is using a technology first introduced to its platform earlier this year.
With the ‘teleportation camera’ users can teleport anywhere in the scene simply by pointing and clicking or navigating between scan set up locations.
In VR, users can create annotations, take measurements and then sync everything back to the Cintoo project.
Issues identified in VR can be exported in BCF Format, or synced with BIM Track, Autodesk BIM 360 or Procore.
“This is not just about visualization; it’s about driving actionable insights, reducing costs, and improving operations,” said Dominique Pouliquen, CEO of Cintoo. “Whether a construction, oil and gas or manufacturing company, the industrial metaverse enables you to harness your data in real-time, creating smarter, more efficient workflows.”
The second Cintoo Metaverse app, 3D Layout Experience, has been developed with Cintoo’s partner, Theorem Solutions. It allows users to navigate a 3D mesh, check clearances when moving equipment, and simulate future workspaces.
Meanwhile, Cintoo has closed a €37 million Series B funding round led by Partech, a global tech investment firm. With the fresh funding, Cintoo will enhance its SaaS platform by expanding its portfolio of integrations and will build on its new industrial metaverse experience and automatic asset tagging capabilities.
