Overview
iGUIDE is an enterprise-grade spatial data platform designed to bridge the gap between architectural-grade measurement and high-fidelity virtual exploration. By 2026, the platform has solidified its position as the primary competitor to Matterport, specifically targeting the commercial and residential real estate sectors where accuracy is non-negotiable. Its technical architecture revolves around the PLANIX hardware ecosystem, which leverages Time-of-Flight (ToF) LiDAR to capture spatial data with a sub-1% margin of error. Unlike photogrammetry-only solutions, iGUIDE’s engine generates native SVG and DWG floor plans simultaneously with its 360-degree imagery. This dual-stream processing allows for instant drafting of property layouts, making it an essential tool for insurance adjusters, architects, and facilities managers. The 2026 market position emphasizes AI-driven object recognition within property scans, allowing for automated asset tagging and inventory management. The platform's proprietary 'iGUIDE Viewer' is optimized for low-latency web delivery, requiring no specialized plugins, which ensures maximum accessibility across mobile and desktop environments.
