Recently while perusing the seemingly endless array of apps available I ran across a 3D model viewer app called NaviCAD and of course I have downloaded it and yes you will love it and forever forget the .99 you paid for it like I did. I used some of the Google models available under the gigantic Google warehouse and it works for simple models great, more complex models seem to slow it down a little, but I’m viewing models on a phone!

Of course this instantly put me into “what if” mode. What if we were able to walk through models on site using our hand helds? What if a facility manager could pull out his blackberry and it locates him in a 3D building using GPS and he can scan an object with it and it will tell him everything he needs to know about it? Ah, the mind runs wild…
