Overview

What are "OmniNotes"? 

The Cupix TwinCapture OmniNote feature enables you to take photos or record voice memos on your mobile phone during 360° video walks. Please see the attached PDF link for use and best practices.

Benefits of using OmniNotes?

• 3D geotagged high-res photos & voice memos - Automatically linked with your 360° video walk path for location context.
• Multiple viewing options for easy access - Check notes on a map, in 3D virtual exploration, or view all in a list.
• Detailed as-built site documentation - High-resolution photos provide finer detail than standard 360° video images. It is ideal for recording essential visual information.
• Automatic Text Extraction from PhotoNotes and Voice Transcription from VoiceNotes providing the ability to index and search.
