About the project

Our client is a Vietnamese technology company focused on innovation in spatial planning and 3D visualization. They specialize in developing advanced solutions that enhance efficiency in architecture, interior design, and real estate. With a commitment to precision and user-friendly experiences, they have leveraged Apple's RoomPlan framework to create a powerful 3D room scanning tool. Collaborating with BHSoft, they have developed a multi-platform system that enables real-time, accurate room modeling using LiDAR-equipped devices. This solution streamlines workflows for professionals, improving design accuracy and accelerating project execution in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.

The key requirements for this project included:

  • Real-Time 3D Room Scanning: Develop an efficient, automated solution for generating precise 3D models of rooms in real time using LiDAR-equipped iPhones and iPads.
  • Accuracy and Precision: Ensure that the system could handle variations in room size, lighting conditions, and user movement while maintaining high measurement accuracy.
  • Integration with Industry Software: Enable seamless data export into widely used design and real estate platforms, such as AutoCAD, Blender, Unity, and AR visualization tools, to facilitate the workflow for architects, designers, and real estate professionals.
  • User-Friendly Experience: The solution needed to be intuitive and easy to use for professionals with varying technical backgrounds, ensuring fast adoption and smooth operation.
  • Data Security and Privacy: Protect sensitive room data through on-device processing and encrypted cloud storage, complying with relevant industry standards and regulations.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Develop the tool for iOS devices, leveraging the RoomPlan framework to ensure smooth performance across various LiDAR-equipped iPhones and iPads. 

During the implementation of this project, we encountered a few challenges:

  • Ensuring High Accuracy in Room Measurements: Variability in scan accuracy due to lighting, furniture placement, and user movement.
  • Real-Time Processing & Optimization: Managing real-time room scanning and rendering while maintaining smooth performance.
  • Seamless Integration with Design & Real Estate Platforms: Ensuring compatibility with industry-standard software for architecture, interior design, and real estate listings.
  • Data Privacy & Security: Handling sensitive room data securely to comply with industry standards.



BHSOFT automated the scanning process by optimizing LiDAR data collection and implementing real-time feedback mechanisms to guide users. We integrated Apple's Metal API to ensure real-time, high-performance rendering, while RoomPlan’s built-in optimization techniques handled data processing efficiently. This automation allowed users to quickly capture and model rooms without manual intervention.



  • 60% Time Reduction in Floor Planning: Automated room measurements eliminated the need for manual calculations and sketching, enabling quicker project timelines.
  • Enhanced Virtual Tours: Real estate professionals can now generate interactive 3D models instantly, improving listings and virtual tours.
  • Improved Interior Design Efficiency: Designers can capture spaces quickly and automatically integrate them into design software, reducing project execution times.
  • Higher Adoption Rates: The automated, intuitive workflow led to rapid user adoption and seamless integration into existing processes.
