Bring Your Data to Life with Augmented Reality in the Field

Trimble SiteVision™ is a high-accuracy outdoor augmented reality system that allows users to visualise 3D data in real-world context, directly on-site. Whether it’s verifying design data, identifying underground utilities, or communicating site progress, SiteVision helps you better understand and manage your project - right where it happens.

Now with version 5.0, SiteVision introduces a 3D scan tool that lets you use the LiDAR sensor on supported Apple devices, paired with the Trimble DA2 GNSS receiver, to capture accurate, georeferenced point clouds in the field.
