RoomTrace
Read full descriptionHide full description
RoomTrace helps you scan rooms and keep simple floor-plan projects on your device. Use it when you are planning a move, trying furniture layouts, documenting a renovation, or just want a quick room record you can share later. With a LiDAR-capable iPhone or iPad, RoomTrace uses Apple RoomPlan to capture room geometry. In version 1.1, you can collect several room scans in one floor project, switch between the floor overview and individual rooms, rename rooms, and export clearer multi-page PDFs. Features: - Scan rooms with Apple RoomPlan - Collect several rooms in one floor project - Review 2D floor plans, room names, measurements, and project details - Save projects locally on your device - Export PDF, JSON, DXF, and USDZ when available - Share exports with the standard iOS share sheet - Optional location access to prefill a building address Privacy/local-first: Room and project data is processed locally on your device. RoomTrace has no required login, no RoomTrace cloud, no ads, no tracking, and no app cookies. Data leaves the app only when you export or share it yourself, or when you use optional system services such as location for address prefilling. Important: Scanning requires a LiDAR-capable iPhone or iPad. Results depend on the room, lighting, and scan conditions. RoomTrace is intended for planning and documentation, not certified surveying.

RoomScan by NucleusXR Capture. Organize. Sync. Explore. Transform real-world spaces into digital environments with RoomScan, part of the NucleusXR enterprise XR training ecosystem. RoomScan lets you capture physical spaces, manage detected objects, sync scans to the cloud, and organize your environments into Projectsβall from your iPhone. Whether you're documenting facilities, preparing immersive training environments, or managing spatial content across your organization, RoomScan connects physical spaces with your digital workflows. CAPTURE REAL-WORLD ENVIRONMENTS Use a compatible LiDAR-enabled iPhone to scan rooms and physical environments, creating 3D representations that can support immersive applications, spatial documentation, and XR training. - Capture rooms and physical spaces - Review detected objects and their spatial information - Explore 3D room models - Document environments with object-level photographs MANAGE OBJECTS AND DETAILS Go beyond the room model by working with individual objects in your scans. - View detected objects on an interactive object map - Edit object labels, statuses, and notes - Capture and manage object photographs - Review object dimensions, location, and transform information - Highlight supported objects directly inside the 3D room model Keep important spatial information organized alongside the environment it belongs to. SYNCHRONIZE WITH NUCLEUSXR CLOUD Connect local scans with your organization's NucleusXR environment. - Upload scans to the cloud - Synchronize object metadata and photo changes - Update existing cloud scenes without creating new copies during normal synchronization - Track pending changes and sync progress - Identify local-only, synchronized, and cloud-only scans - Retry synchronization when necessary RoomScan provides visible synchronization status, helping you understand which changes are stored locally and which have been uploaded. ORGANIZE SCANS INTO PROJECTS Manage spatial content through a Project-based library. - Create new Projects - Rename Projects and update their descriptions - Archive Projects without deleting their scans from All Scans - Assign synchronized scans to one or more Projects - Browse your organization's cloud scenes - View Project contents and associated objects All Scans provides a central collection of your organization's available scenes. ACCESS SAVED PROJECT DATA OFFLINE Continue reviewing previously loaded Project information when a network connection is unavailable. RoomScan maintains an on-device cache of Project and Scene metadata, allowing you to browse saved Project lists and available object information offline. Cloud photos and room models may require a connection unless previously downloaded or cached. EXPLORE CLOUD SCENES Browse cloud-based environments without first importing them into your local scan library. - View cloud Scene details and detected objects - Explore object maps and object properties - Review available object photos - Highlight objects in supported 3D room models - Download supported cloud scenes to your device Once downloaded, you can open a cloud Scene in RoomScan's local editing workflow. Subsequent edits can synchronize back to the existing cloud Scene. BUILT FOR ENTERPRISE XR WORKFLOWS RoomScan supports teams developing spatial content for: - Pharmaceutical and life sciences training - Manufacturing and industrial operations - Healthcare and clinical environments - Facility documentation and digital twins - Education and technical training - Enterprise XR simulation development CONNECTED TO THE NUCLEUSXR ECOSYSTEM NucleusXR is an enterprise platform for creating, deploying, and managing immersive XR training experiences. RoomScan helps bring physical environments into that ecosystem, connecting real-world spatial capture with cloud-based content management and XR development workflows. Scan real spaces.
