ContextCapture
Create 3D models from simple photographs and/or point clouds. Reality modeling is the process of capturing the physical reality of an infrastructure asset, creating a representation of it, and maintaining it through continuous surveys. Bentley's reality modeling software, ContextCapture, provides you with real-world digital context in the form of a 3D reality mesh. A reality mesh is a 3D model of real-world conditions that contains large amounts of triangles and image data. Each digital component can be automatically recognized and/or geospatially referenced, providing you with an intuitive and immersive way to navigate, find, view, and query your asset information. You can use reality meshes in many engineering, maintenance, or GIS workflows to provide precise real-world digital context for design, construction, and operations decisions. Overlapping photos from drones and ground-level imagery, supplemented by laser scans where needed.

FARO Sphere XG
FARO Sphere XG is a cloud-based digital reality platform that provides its users a centralized, collaborative experience across the company’s reality capture and 3D modeling applications. When paired with the Stream mobile app, Sphere XG enables faster 3D data capture, processing and project management from anywhere in the world.
Sphere XG systematizes every activity while remaining intuitive to navigate, allowing users the ability to better organize their 3D scans and 360° photos alongside 3D models and manage that data across diverse teams around the world.
With Sphere XG, 3D point clouds and 360° photo documentation can be viewed and shared all in one place, aligned to a floorplan and viewable over time. Ideal for 4D construction progress management where the ability to compare elements over time is critical, project managers and VDC managers can better democratize data and eliminate the need to use two platforms for their reality capture needs.

ReCap Pro
Reality capture software connecting the physical world to the digital. Use ReCap™ Pro 3D scanning software to create 3D models from imported photographs and laser scans. Deliver a point cloud or mesh in support of BIM processes. Collaborate across teams with design based on reality. ReCap Photo, a service included with ReCap Pro, processes drone photography to create 3D representations of current site conditions, objects, and more. It also supports the creation of point clouds, meshes, and ortho photos. Use solutions created with the ReCap Pro Software Development Kit (SDK) to quickly get reality data into Autodesk design and construction tools. Compare the scan view (RealView) and overhead map view side-by-side. Use the compass widget to set the XY axis for the user coordinate system in the overhead view. Use high-precision GPS technology to avoid costly prep work in setting ground control points and get survey-grade accuracy from photo reconstruction.
