Our Clients
Utillix AR
Utillix AR gives users an augmented reality view of their immediate environment, displaying assets in their actual location with attributes, from 2D, 2.5D or 3D source data. We make GIS Data available to non GIS trained users in the field.
Utillix AR is a downloadable application which:
- Gives an augmented reality view of utility assets in the immediate environment.
- Integrates geospatial data from a single or multiple GIS database.
- Creates a 3D model from GIS data in real-time.
- Allows the user to move around.

How Utillix works?
FAQ
What is augmented reality?
Augmented Reality (AR) is the ability to superimpose computer generated content over a live view of the world. On tablets and phones, virtual content is displayed over the live camera / video function.
What problem do we solve?
Utillix AR aims to provide a greater level of productivity through project and workflow management, secure centralisation of organisational documentation.
Device Requirements
Currently Utillix AR recommends the following device combination:
- Latest Android or Apple phone or tablet, and
- A Trimble Catalyst DA1 antenna.
While 30cm is sufficient for utilities, planning and visual impact analysis, Utillix AR will provide accuracy down to 1cm.
Please note, the device technology industry constantly evolves. The recommended device this year, may change to reflect the devices available to the market. Talk to one of our consultants to learn more.
What utilities does Utillix AR map?
Utillix AR maps the majority of sub-surface utilities and structures including water, gas, power, communication, recycled water, sewer line and storm water.
Set up and configuration
Option 1
Utillix AR can provide consultancy services to get the metadata describing project, data sources, initial models and more configured within the Utillix AR registration server. Following a successful trial, customers or partners manage their own configuration of the registration server. Once your team has completed the Utillix AR administration training.
Option 2
To integrate Utillix AR with a new data source (GIS web server), please follow the four step process outlined below:
1.Configure the data source definition (essentially the URL and some other metadata) and project definition in the Utillix AR registration server via the simple web interface.
2. Personalise your augmented reality mode by identifying styles for key objects. A GUI interface is used that generates the required XML file definition;
3. Create, modify, format and upload any 3D models of pieces of equipment including, but not limited to, switchgear switchgear, transformers, pits, chambers, poles, insulators, and more. These assets can now be viewed in the augmented reality mode in the Utillix AR app.
4. Configure user credentials, and register your table and smartphone devices.
