inCitu is a web and mobile augmented reality platform that lets architects, planners, developers, and city agencies place georeferenced 3D building and infrastructure models at true scale on the actual project site.
It integrates with Esri ArcGIS and Autodesk Forma so teams can turn Revit and GIS data into on-site AR experiences residents can view on a smartphone without downloading an app.
inCituAR® is a mobile-based augmented reality (AR) platform that transforms complex construction plans into shared, on-site visualizations accessible to anyone with a smartphone. Already piloting with NYC's Department of Design and Construction, the platform enables staff, contractors, consultants, and community members to see future projects in their real-world context, breaking down technical barriers and fostering collaboration around urban change.
Planning happens on 2D maps from a bird's-eye view, but people live in 3D space. When a community is asked to weigh in on a housing development, a transit corridor, or a flood resilience project from a flat rendering or a PDF, they are being asked to make decisions without a shared spatial frame of reference. inCitu's integrations with Esri ArcGIS and Autodesk Forma create a direct, automated connection between Autodesk Construction Cloud, the inCituAR platform, and Esri's GIS ecosystem, letting AEC teams take a Revit model and place it at real scale on a real street corner, with no manual file export, no format conversion, and no app download required for viewers.
Cities using inCituAR include the City of Phoenix, which distributed QR codes so residents could preview the 115-unit Girasol Apartments in 3D from the sidewalk before construction was complete; the Central Ohio Transit Authority, which built inCitu into a guided bus tour along the proposed West Broad Street BRT corridor; the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, which showed a proposed living shoreline at the actual seawall where it would be built; and Kauai County, which used inCitu across stakeholder events supporting the island's first wildland urban interface zoning ordinance.

Geopogo turns photos of real-world buildings into production-ready 3D models using AI, for architects and designers who need fast site-context geometry. The mobile app supports augmented reality viewing on site and exports models for CAD, Unreal Engine, Unity, and Blender workflows.
Akular is a mobile augmented reality app that lets architecture, engineering and construction teams bring BIM and 3D models into the real world at full scale. Using just a phone or tablet, teams can walk through a life-sized model on site or in the office to review design and coordinate with stakeholders before construction begins.
Sitelink is a mobile AR and BIM collaboration platform for construction teams, letting field and office staff visualize 3D models at full scale on site. It supports LiDAR scanning, AR issue markup, and remote video calls, and integrates with Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360.
