FARO Stream vs iTwin Capture Mobile

Stream is the FARO field-capture mobile app that connects FARO hardware with FARO Sphere cloud-based services. By uniting hardware with cloud software, Stream makes on-site capture workflows more efficient and brings captured data directly into the FARO ecosystem. Stream is compatible with the Focus Premium, Orbis mobile and Blink scanner with a unified interface. Stream provides live feedback of the captured data, performing real-time SLAM for Orbis/Blink and scan pre-registration for Focus/Blink. Stream also allows the ability to include complementary data like field annotations and photographic images to the project after a scan is complete. Stream provides the best on-site efficiency for data capture with the Focus Premium, Blink and Orbis for scan operations in architecture, engineering, construction, facility management, geospatial, and mining.

iTwin Capture Mobile is an intuitive mobile application for reality capture. Even if you are a non-expert user, you can easily perform good acquisitions, thanks to real-time feedback, in augmented reality, about data quality and completeness. Then upload the data for processing in Bentley’s cloud. With iTwin Capture Mobile, you can quickly produce 3D models of existing conditions to provide precise real-world context that you can leverage during all phases of an asset lifecycle. Augmented reality capture is designed to best function on iPhone 13 Pro and subsequent Lidar equipped devices.
