SiteScope Tech
Photoreal Walkthrough

Walk the whole site again, without going back.

Capture a space with an iPhone Pro and get a photoreal 3D walkthrough of the real site, plus a measured E57 point cloud, from the same single scan. Tag locations with notes and photos, then share a link that opens in any browser. One visit, and your whole team can walk the space from their desk, anytime, with nothing to install.

SiteScope vs Matterport

The walkthrough, without the rig

Matterport built the category, and a Matterport space is a great walkthrough. The difference is what it takes to make one and what you walk away with. SiteScope captures with the iPhone Pro you already carry, and one scan gives you both a photoreal walkthrough and a measured point cloud you own.

One capture, two outputs

A photoreal walkthrough and a measured point cloud, from one scan.

Walk the space once with an iPhone Pro. You get the photoreal walkthrough for seeing and communicating the site, and a dense, measured point cloud for the numbers. The point cloud exports to E57, so the same capture that your client walks through also drops into Autodesk ReCap and Revit. Stop driving back to the job site to check a dimension or a condition.

  • Photoreal walkthrough to see and share the real space, in the browser, no app for the client.
  • Measured E57 point cloud for ReCap, Revit, and the scan-to-BIM stack, not just a mesh.
  • The site, captured once, open to your whole team forever, no second trip.

Location tagging

Tag locations in the space

Pin notes and photos to exact spots in the walkthrough. A condition, a spec, a punch item, or a reference shot sits where it belongs, anchored in 3D, so everyone reads the same thing in the same place.

Notes that stay put

Drop a note on the exact wall, fixture, or corner it refers to. No more describing which room, which side, which outlet. The tag is right there in the space.

Photos in context

Anchor a reference photo to the spot it documents, so a detail reads in place instead of living in a camera roll no one can match to the room.

One source for the team

Share the link and the crew, the client, and the consultant all see the same tags in the same locations. The site, captured once, open to everyone, same day.

Honest about the hardware and the accuracy

Capture needs an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. The Pro models carry the LiDAR sensor the scan relies on, so that is the one requirement, and we will not pretend a non-Pro phone does it. The upside is that it is a device you already own, not a dedicated camera or a rig you rent.

The photoreal walkthrough is built for seeing and communicating the space. Precise measurement lives in the companion E57 point cloud from the same capture. That cloud is centimeter-class: room-scale captures typically land within a couple of centimeters over a normal room, which is the right band for documentation, space planning, and coordination. It is not a survey-grade terrestrial scanner, and we do not claim it is.

Treat the scan the way you treat any field survey. Verify code-driven and fabrication-driven dimensions, long runs, and glass against a tape or laser before you build on them. The step that disappears is the second trip to the site, not your judgment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Matterport?
Two big things. First, the hardware: you capture with an iPhone Pro you already own, not a dedicated Pro camera or a 360 rig. Second, the output: one scan gives you both a photoreal 3D walkthrough for seeing and communicating the space, and a measured E57 point cloud that drops into Autodesk ReCap, Revit, and the rest of the scan-to-BIM stack. A Matterport space is a great walkthrough, but its mesh is not a survey-grade point cloud out of the box. With SiteScope you also own your files and can export E57, IFC, DXF, GLB, and more.
What do I need to capture one?
An iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. That is the whole kit. The LiDAR sensor and cameras on the Pro do the capture, and you get the photoreal walkthrough plus the measured point cloud from a single walk of the space, same day. No dedicated camera, no tripod rig, no rental.
Can I share it without an account?
Yes. A share link opens the walkthrough in any browser on desktop or mobile, with no login and nothing to install on the client side. Send the link and your client, GC, or consultant walks the space themselves. Links support an optional password and expiry when a project calls for it.
Can I measure in it?
The photoreal walkthrough is built for seeing and communicating the space. Precise measurement lives in the companion point cloud from the same capture, which is centimeter-class and exports to E57. As with any field survey, verify code-driven or fabrication-driven dimensions against a tape or laser before you build on them.
Do I get a point cloud and an E57 too?
Yes, from the same scan. Alongside the photoreal walkthrough you get a dense, measured point cloud you can orbit, measure, and slice in the browser, and export as E57 for ReCap and Revit, LAZ or PLY for point-cloud tools, plus IFC, DXF, GLB, and a dimensioned PDF set. One capture feeds every deliverable.
What is location tagging?
You pin notes and photos to exact spots in the 3D space. A condition, a spec, a punch item, or a reference photo sits where it belongs, anchored in place, so your whole team reads the same thing in the same location. The site is captured once and stays open to everyone you share it with.
