Introduction

An OmniNote lets you easily capture high-resolution photos and link them to 360° imagery. This helps you document specific details while maintaining spatial context.

Key benefits include:

• 3D Geotagged High-Res Photos & Voice Memos: Automatically linked with your 360° video walk path for location context.
• Multiple Viewing Options for Easy Access: Seamlessly check notes on a map, in 3D virtual exploration, or via a list view.
• Superior Detailed As-Built Site Documentation: High-resolution photos provide finer detail than standard 360° video images.
• Ideal for Recording Essential Visual Information
• NEW! Custom Tagging and Captions for Streamlined Communication: Custom tags clarify the purpose of each capture, improving the interaction between the capture process and the SiteView viewer.
• NEW! One-Click Before & After Comparison: Transform hours of manual documentation work into instant results. Generate chronological progress comparisons and comprehensive reports with a single click, dramatically reducing the time spent on progress documentation.
