Geospatial software data company Clirio has launched solution for field data capture that combines mobile LiDAR 3D scanning with smart remote collaboration tools.

The company said the solution, called just Clirio, aims to offer teams an end-to-end 3D solution to capture, organise, share, and problem-solve using real-time field observations and data.

Clirio is a set of mobile, web, and VR/AR apps for instantly capturing, sharing, reviewing, and resolving worksite field observations, issues, or updates.

At a field site, Clirio users collect notes, photos, and even 3D scans (using the laser scanner built into a new iPad Pro or iPhone Pro). These field observations are automatically geo-referenced within the map-based workspace and synced to a secure cloud workspace.

An interface allows colleagues, managers, partners, or stakeholders to sort, review, compare, and action field observations. Base maps can be generated automatically, imported from users' favorite GIS program, or constructed from site CAD or aerial imagery.

Teams can collaborate as a group in a live, remote, virtual holographic meeting around one or more field observations from within the app. Clirio accurately documents a "digital twin" of observations as the worksite evolves over time, letting users revisit the site's current or historical points of interest from anywhere at any time.
