EarthCam introduces its redesigned VR Site Tour app. EarthCam helps contractors capture and share detailed photos and videos of jobsites. Newly announced, the redesign of the VR Site Tour platform makes it faster, simpler and more intuitive to capture and communicate interior progress for owners and contractors. The app provides simple DIY interior documentation

VR Site Tour is specifically designed for quick, straightforward reality capture for small-to-medium jobsites. For larger scale projects, EarthCam provides a range of construction imaging solutions – including professional onsite photography services.

VR Site Tour interactive images are captured using a standard 360° camera, combined with EarthCam’s environmental sensor data, and automatically assembled into a virtual project tour. It converts a day’s worth of progress into shareable, 360° photos synching them directly to site plans, CAD drawings or 3D BIM models. All images are geo-tagged to properly align with the site plan. Immersive imagery documents actual live progress and reduces the need for site visits which prevents rework and saves time and money.

VR Site Tour is integrated with EarthCam’s all-inclusive software, encompassing all aspects of visual data management for construction, including AI analytics, 3D/4D model integration, live streaming and time-lapse.

By uploading immersive 360° imagery from VR Site Tour to project management platforms such as Procore and Autodesk Build, contractors are able to add value and provide greater insight. With EarthCam, annotated 360° images can be pushed to 100% of image-ready Procore Daily Log sections, including Photos, RFIs and Change Events, to allow greater transparency and faster collaboration.
