EarthCam,\u00a0a\u00a0provider of webcam technology and services,\u00a0has introduced\u00a0EarthCam 4D<\/a>, empowering virtual design and construction (VDC) teams to overlay and synch live imagery with their digital twins.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

An intuitive timeline allows users to scroll backwards and forward in time to view live imagery in relation to their 4D models.<\/p>\n

Built on the Bentley\u00a0iTwin platform<\/em>, EarthCam 4D augments\u00a0Bentley Systems\u2019\u00a0SYNCHRO\u00a04D<\/em>\u00a0models with high-resolution photos from multiple cameras throughout the jobsite, overlaid in precise alignment. Viewers can zoom in and out, and the associated live images remain synched. Unique transparency\/opacity and model color adjustments enable new and powerful ways to compare and contrast models with reality over time.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarthCam 4D is a great and quick tool to help communicate project schedule with our customer, trade partners and public,\u201d said\u00a0Michal D Wojtak<\/strong>, Mortenson\u2019s Integrated Construction Director for sports and entertainment. \u201cThe ability to easily compare current and future states of work is valuable to project leadership teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to collaborate with EarthCam, and their EarthCam 4D application, which allows for construction teams to monitor planned construction against actual progress. In addition, EarthCam\u2019s solution integrates time-lapse imaging with interactive 3D models that are tied to the construction schedule data, adding tremendous value to clients,\u201d said\u00a0Sheena Gaynes,<\/strong>\u00a0Director, Business Development, iTwin platform, at Bentley Systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cDigital twins are radically increasing productivity in construction,\u201d said\u00a0Brian Cury<\/strong>, CEO and Founder of EarthCam. \u201cThanks to Bentley iTwin, we\u2019re able to merge the highest resolution imagery from our cameras to SYNCHRO 4D models, and build valuable applications to increase our clients ROI.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bringing construction digital twins to life<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe partnership between EarthCam and Bentley is bringing construction digital twins to life by simplifying the visual communication of project status to all stakeholders. Now anyone can compare what is happening on the jobsite to what was planned virtually within a simple web viewer powered by Bentley\u2019s iTwin technology. By mixing 4D models from SYNCHRO with EarthCam\u2019s reality models, all stakeholders on the project can quickly see the progress of the project, identify issues, and keep the project on time and on budget from anywhere,\u201d said\u00a0Rich Humphrey<\/strong>, VP, Construction, at Bentley Systems.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

EarthCam 4D is the first solution that fully synchronizes time-sequenced images to 4D planning models \u2013 stakeholders no longer need multiple software interfaces and different stored image sources to access this critical comparative information.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to FMI, 13% of working hours are spent looking for project data and information. Having real-time imagery synched with a SYNCHRO 4D model in a single interface provides immediate, real-time evidence of every steel beam placement, and every window installation against 4D models, simplifying project management for SYNCHRO users worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EarthCam 4D\u00a0premiered at\u00a0Bentley MOMENTUM<\/a>, the developer showcase for digital twin solutions on January 26th.<\/p>\n

EarthCam\u2019s\u00a0Control Center 8<\/a>\u00a0has long been the software of choice among industry leaders for smart project documentation, promotion and security. EarthCam is driving productivity for a more visually informative jobsite, providing camera rentals, same-day delivery and professional installation. EarthCam works with industry leaders around the globe to make construction project management less costly and more efficient using powerful visual data.<\/p>\n
