AKULAR TWIN places gigabytes of fragmented databases into an easily understandable, information-rich picture that’s transparent to all users
New York, NFAPost: Akular announced the release of AKULAR TWIN, a lightweight app that is built on the Bentley iTwin platform.
Akular is a global leader in 3D/AR/VR/MR and a Digital Twins cloud platform that provides a comprehensive set of software solutions and applications to create, run and display real time 2D/3D content for mobile devices, PC’s and headsets.
The app enables users to upload a BIM model during construction or have a BIM model created from the layout of an existing building.
It means that everyone from construction workers to facility managers can compare updated versions of the same model, detect clashes, or create and track issues.
All this can be done in a real-world overlay through augmented reality, by walking through it in a virtual reality, or simply pinch/zooming in 3D on a phone or tablet.
All changes are immediately synced back to the platform in real time. The AKULAR TWIN app met the criteria needed to achieve the “Powered by iTwin” designation, which means that the app meets the same standards as Bentley’s own Powered by iTwin apps.
Commenting on the development, Akular CEO Martin Rapos said achieving Bentley’s ‘Powered by iTwin’ designation is a massive step forward for Akular.
“For so long now, the real estate and construction sectors have been stuck using last-century technologies, when all other industries are moving forward quickly. Digital twin applications could immediately start saving investors huge amounts of time, money and materials and make their ESG commitments more achievable. They also provide instant transparency to all stakeholders, which benefits everyone,” said Akular CEO Martin Rapos.
Bentley Systems Director, Business Development, iTwin Platform Sheena Gaynes said the company celebrates Akular’s milestone of achieving ‘Powered by iTwin’ designation for their AKULAR TWIN app.
“As an iTwin Partner, Akular contributes to the growing ecosystem of developers building digital twin solutions on the iTwin platform. AKULAR TWIN, Powered by iTwin shows how digital twin technology can increase the performance of buildings by visualizing a variety of building data in AR/VR/3D,” said Bentley Systems Director, Business Development, iTwin Platform Sheena Gaynes.
