MONTREAL, QC — May 2026 — Prevu3D, the industrial reality platform that transforms as-built data into navigable 3D environments, and RICOH, a global technology company trusted across enterprise and industrial imaging, today announced a strategic partnership enabling RICOH THETA users to import their 360° footage directly into Prevu3D’s RealityPlatform and generate navigable, georeferenced digital environments of their facilities.
For facilities managers, AECO project teams, and digital transformation leads already using RICOH THETA devices for site documentation, the integration is an immediate capability upgrade. The same capture workflow now produces a fully explorable as-built environment, ready for site assessment, engineering review, and operational decision-making.
360° Video to Point Cloud, Mesh & Digital Twin
RICOH THETA cameras are already widely deployed for documentation and site communication across AECO and facilities. The limitation has always been that raw 360° footage, while useful for visual reference, does not give teams a workable representation of the space.
Prevu3D changes that with its 360° video ingestion engine automatically reconstructs RICOH THETA footage into a complete spatial dataset (panoramic images, point clouds, meshes, and Gaussian splats) from a single walkthrough. The result is a navigable 3D environment that teams can explore, annotate, and connect to engineering workflows, all from a capture they were already making.
CAD, BIM & Digital Twin Software Integration
RICOH360’s core customer base maps directly to Prevu3D’s target buyers. This partnership creates a natural upgrade path: RICOH THETA users gain access to a more powerful output from data they’re already capturing, without any change to their existing hardware or field process.
The Prevu3D RealityPlatform manages as-built environments across the full quality spectrum, from 360° video through to high-precision LiDAR and direct CAD integration with Siemens Designcenter NX and Autodesk Revit. RICOH THETA integration is the entry point: fast to deploy and immediately useful for site assessment and early documentation.
The teams buying RICOH THETA cameras are exactly the teams who need to start building their as-built world. They’re already walking the sites. They’re already capturing. With this partnership, that capture becomes the foundation of a navigable digital environment they can actually work from.
