360-degree photos can now be uploaded and viewed in Trimble’s Viewpoint Field View, negating the need for third party site-walk software.
With 360 Photos for Field View, site teams can now connect to an Insta360 X3/X4 camera via Field View Mobile, mark their position on the site drawing, capture their surroundings and simultaneously upload 360-degree photos to Field View Web. This creates an accurate, real-time visual record of job progress. Faces are automatically blurred for privacy.
In the office, project leads can access these images using Field View’s cloud-based platform to create tasks, manage forms and track productivity across the site. The images can be aligned for side-by-side comparisons to see how the work on site evolves, making it easier to spot changes, check work quality and identify discrepancies, Trimble said.
“Linking the device to the camera is easy and quick. The photo capture feature significantly improves compliance. Being able to record specific times and locations is invaluable, especially for documenting those crucial golden thread moments. Having this system work alongside our snagging process is a huge benefit,” said Ian Simpson, senior site manager at residential developer and housing association L&Q.
Field View with 360 Photos supports Insta360 X3 and X4 cameras, with plans to add new models as they are released.
