Microsoft makes available the first extensible commercial HoloLens solution on Windows Store that will allow company’s in the architecture, engineering, construction and operations industries to buy and use right away.

Trimble’s SketchUp is a tool widely used for 3D modeling and design currently being used by tens of millions of professionals in the industry. SketchUp Viewer on HoloLens adopts mixed reality and extends the value and investment already made in 3D modeling with SketchUp. With this new solution, Trimble will be able to deliver 3D modeling as part of the design and construction process further and into what’s called experiential review.

Using the application on HoloLens, users can either view their designs as a holographic scale model on a tabletop, or through an immersive experience from within a digital building model. Architects, builders, designers, engineers and makers using SketchUp Viewer are the people who have been shaping our world.
