MODEL / REAL ALIGNMENT

Overlay the BIM model onto reality, automatically and continuously.

Instantly overlay your BIM models onto the real environment, at 1:1 scale in Augmented Reality, without markers or preparation. The BIM model superimposed onto reality becomes a field control tool to understand and anticipate construction, detect defects and secure execution in real time.

1.

Instant overlay

Overlay the model on site in two clicks.

2.

Precise alignment

Precise alignment without markers or QR codes.

3.

Continuous alignment

Alignment remains reliable, even while moving within the site.

4.

Ease of use

Intuitive handling, no complex preparation.

A unique alignment technology on the market

NEXT-BIM allows you to display your 3D models directly in their physical environment, at 1:1 scale. In two clicks, the model is aligned on the construction site without prior preparation.

Three surfaces are enough at startup to position the model. Thanks to its exclusive automatic and continuous alignmenttechnology, the match between the virtual and the real world remains stable and precise over time, even while moving inside the site.

This alignment precision makes it possible to anticipate construction and control what is built, directly on site.

Compatible with iPad Pro and HoloLens 2, NEXT-BIM works offline, enabling continuous use without constraints across all your projects.

R&D Manager

At Bouygues Construction, the NEXT-BIM solution addresses multiple use cases. Thanks to its automatic and continuous model-to-reality alignment system, the benefits are numerous: significant time savings and improved work quality, with elements correctly installed the first time; savings on defect rework; and time savings in detecting discrepancies during control phases.

FAQ

Are markers required to position the model?

No. NEXT-BIM performs alignment without markers (markerless).

1) Site capture:
The LiDAR (iPad Pro / HoloLens) generates a 3D mesh of the environment.

2) 3×3 surface matching:
You select three real surfaces (e.g., floor, wall, slab) and their equivalents in the model; the initial position is calculated.

3) Automatic overlay & continuous tracking:
Our algorithms continuously compare the LiDAR mesh to the model to correct any positional drift while you move. → No QR codes or physical targets required. Works offline as well.

Can multiple BIM models be overlaid?

Yes, NEXT-BIM supports large files and the import of multiple 3D models.
