The power of information, re-imagined.

Imagine if you could see things that are hidden or that don’t actually exist yet. With the Trimble® SiteVision™ outdoor augmented reality system you can. SiteVision brings geospatial data to life so you can easily visualise, explore and understand complex information with unrivaled accuracy, right from your mobile device.

Take a walk through your job site and visualise:

Conceptual designs, from buildings to roads, as they might appear in real life
What lies beneath the ground or resides inside walls, such as water pipes and electrical cabling

Provide real-world context to your designs:

Communicate complicated plans and drawings
Precisely identify where concealed assets are
Minimise costly errors and safety-related incidents

Simply upload your data, visualise and manipulate it in the field, and report back to the office – all through the Trimble Cloud.

Easy-to-use software brings data to life

3D models don’t belong in a 2D world

Works seamlessly with your existing workflows and data; supports Trimble, open industry standard, and third-party file types: Trimble Business Center, SketchUp, Tekla, Esri, AutoCAD. Full formats: SKP, VCL, TTM, TRB, IFC, LandXML, DWG, SHP, Geodatabase, and PNG.
Upload your data, visualise it in the field and report back to the office – all through Trimble Connect.

COMPATIBLE DEVICES

Trimble SiteVision runs on mobile devices, smaller than 8″, supporting Google Play Services for AR and the Android™ Operating System Version 9.0.

Trimble Inc. has tested and verified Trimble SiteVision compatibility with the following Android mobile phones:

Note: Although Trimble Catalyst Service and Google Play Services for AR can run on a number of mobile devices, the requirements for SiteVision differ due to the combination of the processing requirements of Trimble Catalyst softGNSS Receiver, Google Play Services for AR, and data processing.

APPLICATIONS

Trimble SiteVision is already at work in your industry

Client Engagement

Simplify explaining to clients by letting them see proposed designs, in situ using Augmented Reality. Allow the clients to walk around the proposed design and understand the details from different viewing angles in the context of the site. Share and discuss proposed design and design changes.

Planning

How will my planned road affect the surrounding environment? Use SiteVision to visualise design, the cut and fill values and how it will affect the surrounding environment.

Inspection

What is the progress of construction on site? Use SiteVision to visualise work planned, undertake inspections and work completed on a ‘Stakeless Site’.

Subsurface Utilities

Where is the existing infrastructure that I can’t see? Use SiteVision to utilise sub surface mapping information to visualise the location, size and attributes of underground infrastructure such as water, power, gas and telecommunications.

Electrical Utilities

View the visual impact of proposed designs. SiteVision allows you to provide better context on proposed changes during the public consultation phase, improving public understanding. Communicate with contractors the intended outcome and logistics associated with the construction phase.

Cadastral Boundaries

How can I communicate land rights and restrictions? Use SiteVision as a tool to visualise cadastral boundaries, identify survey monuments, plan surveys and communicate complicated land rights and restrictions.

Structures

What will new construction look like against existing? Use SiteVision to visualise above ground structures and infrastructure such as intersections, bridges, tunnels and buildings.

Real Estate Development

Communicate the design on site with city and regional authorities to speed up the planning approval. Show potential buyers what the future site will look like, as well as views from individual lots. Show proposed house designs on site.

Landscape Architecture

How will my design fit the existing environment? Use SiteVision to visualise landscape designs and features in an existing environment.
