Augin is the augmented reality platform for construction. View, check and present BIM projects at 1:1 scale, right on the job site or at the office — exactly as they will be built. HOW IT WORKS Upload your model through Augin Web (web.augin.app) or the plugins for Revit, ArchiCAD, Tekla and SketchUp (via IFC). In Augin Web you federate the disciplines and create a Reference Tracker with a crop of the area you need; in the app, just open it, point the camera and see the project on top of the real world, at real scale. FEATURES • Reference Tracker: print the reference sheet and place it on site — the model appears aligned to the environment, at the exact spot and height where it will be built. • Partial view: projects too big for a phone now open — the app loads only the crop that matters, light and fast, with no external tools needed to cut the model. • Federated models: architecture, structure and MEP brought together in a single project, so you can check disciplines side by side right on site. • BIM information: tap an element to see its properties instantly; resolve questions with filters, section cuts and measurements without going back to the office. • Collaboration: walk through the project with avatars and present to clients and your team. • AR and 3D mode: visit the job site in augmented reality or explore the model anywhere. WHO IT'S FOR Architects, engineers, contractors and developers who want to take BIM off the screen: design review, site tracking, client presentations and sales.
