The 360 Edition merges 360 data, scans, and BIM in a single 3D environment. Navigate directly inside existing BIM or Twin Edition projects for a seamless multimodal workflow.
Cintoo's partnership with Ricoh produces a seamless cloud-to-cloud 360 capture workflow built around the Ricoh THETA X camera and integrated directly into Cintoo.
Users capture 360 videos using THETA X, usually mounted on a helmet or monopod
Content is automatically uploaded to Ricoh360 and available for direct import into a Cintoo project
Inside Cintoo - place and align 360 videos to scans and models
360 alignment tools ensure fast and accurate integration of 360 data into a unified 3D environment
Based on Gaussian Splats for higher‑quality, 3D rendering.
360 captures from the Ricoh THETA X are synced to the platform.
Bring 360 captures, 3D scans, and BIM/CAD models together in one view.
Navigate, measure, annotate, and verify 360 captures.
Click anywhere along a generated path or move freely in the 3D viewer using path-based navigation.
Easily scale data capture and visualization across multiple sites and brownfield assets.
Remotely assess conditions across multiple sites, perform visual inspections, and validate safety or compliance directly inside a 3D context.
Complement laser scanning with fast, fully-aligned, and low‑cost 360 video capture, delivering reliable, multimodal reality data for engineering and asset teams.
Explore aligned 360 videos alongside scans and BIM models in the same 3D context, take measurements, and add annotations in a single environment.
Instead of switching between separate viewers, Cintoo enables you to view, navigate and share 360 data in 3D, fully integrated. Bring scans and BIM/CAD models into the same view, harnessing the power of a fully synchronized workflow.
Experience the versatility of an end-to-end solution by using Ricoh's THETA X camera with automated, cloud-connected import into Cintoo. The simplicity is cost-effective and practical to deploy across multiple sites.
Expand your reality capture workflows by combining intuitive 360 video with automated cloud connection, lowering the barrier to entry. Gaussian splatting transforms lightweight 360 data into high‑fidelity experiences, meaning no accuracy is lost.
Scale digital asset management by starting with lightweight 360 capture. By aligning 360 videos with existing laser scans and BIM models, teams can build spatial context across sites, enabling a more expansive digital twin workflow.
The 360 workflow accelerates decision‑making by giving stakeholders immediate, reliable visual access to site conditions. Aligned 360 videos, scans, and BIM models eliminate ambiguity and reduce the need for repeat site visits, while there's no limit to navigation, annotations, and measurements.
In this blog, we break down everything you need to know about 360 + 3D, from time‑to‑value to how Cintoo’s 360 Edition fits into existing laser scanning workflows. Learn how lightweight 360 capture, high‑fidelity visualization, and a fully integrated 3D environment can help you start anywhere, scale faster, and make better decisions.
At the heart of my philosophy is the conviction that reality capture data has immense value. Thanks to the seamless integration of a scan and a workflow, Cintoo has effectively transformed this conviction into a tangible reality.
Cintoo enables us to properly leverage our point cloud data, with multiple ways in which we can share it with project stakeholders.
The integration we had with platforms like BIM Track meant we could identify issues in Cintoo, push those issues into BIM Track directly, and assign those issues to trade partners. It streamlined the whole process for us to a point where we achieved 98% accuracy in our design implementation.
Dedicated help and support at any stage of the project lifecycle.
Compliant with the highest standards of data protection.
Data is handled with the highest standards of privacy.
After Cintoo receives a purchase order, Ricoh ships the certified THETA X camera directly to your specified address. Upon receipt of the camera IDs, Cintoo activates the subscriptions, enabling you to begin capturing and uploading 360 videos. Content is automatically uploaded to Ricoh360 when the device connects to Wi‑Fi, and is also imported into Cintoo, and can then be aligned within the platform using dedicated 360 alignment tools.
Gaussian splatting enhances how 360 data is visualized inside Cintoo by transforming lightweight 360 captures into smooth, high‑fidelity 3D representations. It improves visual clarity and performance, allowing users to explore 360 content more realistically within the same 3D environment as scans and BIM models.
The 360 Edition is designed to complement existing Cintoo BIM or Twin subscriptions as an add-on.
Combining 360 video with 3D brings fast, lightweight visual context into existing 3D workflows without replacing high‑precision data. By aligning 360 videos directly inside scans and BIM models rather than using split‑screen or disconnected viewers, Cintoo provides a single, synchronized environment for navigation, measurements, and annotations, lowering the barrier to entry, reducing cost, and providing complete context.
Adding a lightweight, scalable option alongside high‑quality laser scanning doesn't replace reality capture but expands it. Laser scans remain essential for areas requiring full accuracy and detail, while 360 video enables faster, lower‑cost capture for many everyday use cases. Teams can apply the right level of capture per site or area, gaining a competitive edge, especially for large, multi‑site Industry 4.0 assets where full scan coverage isn’t always necessary.
The 360 Edition includes full access to Cintoo’s core platform capabilities with no functional limitations. Teams can navigate aligned 360 videos directly inside the 3D environment and use the same tools they rely on for scans and BIM—measurements, annotations, comparisons, sharing, and more.
