Cintoo brings Ricoh-native 360 data into 3D workflows

The new solution integrates 360-degree videos from lightweight Ricoh cameras with 3D scans and BIM or CAD models in a single, synchronised 3D environment, eliminating reliance on split-screen or disconnected viewing experiences.

360 Edition includes unlimited, automatic camera path processing, 3D manual alignment to existing scan and/or model datasets, 3D visualisation of panoramic images and 3D data using Gaussian Splats, and access to established tools for 3D annotations, 3D crops and 3D measurements. 

Cintoo said 360 Edition makes scanning easily accessible to non-experts and that it is “particularly well-suited to asset owners and operators managing complex, multi-site projects who require rapid access to up-to-date spatial information, and who need to complement or supplement their usual laser scanning workflows by a cheaper, faster and more versatile reality capture modality”.

Dominique Pouliquen, CEO of Cintoo, said: “The 360 Edition bridges the simplicity of using lightweight 360 cameras with the precision of a full 3D workflow. By bringing Ricoh 360 data, scan data and design models together in one integrated 3D environment, we’re enabling broader teams to adopt advanced 3D workflows without added complexity.”

Akio Inaba, president of Ricoh Futures EMEA and head of smart vision business center at Ricoh, added: “For Ricoh, 360 Edition represents a strategic initiative to embed 360 data into customers’ core operational workflows and accelerate digital transformation across construction, manufacturing and infrastructure industries.”

Cintoo will exhibit at Digital Construction Week in June.
