Metaroom solution is a workflow consisting of Metaroom app for capture and Metaroom Studio for optimisation before export . Through the Metaroom app users can scan rooms using an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro . These scans are then uploaded to the cloud , generating true-to-scale 3D models within seconds . Users can then use the web application , Metaroom Studio , to enrich these 3D models with additional information before exporting , ensuring project-specific customisation and precision .
DIALux is the global standard in lighting design software , utilised by over 750,000 active users to design , calculate and visualise lighting for both indoor and outdoor areas . Featuring real luminaires from over 412 DIALux members , users can create unique atmospheres and generate comprehensive project documentation .
DIAL always prioritises the needs of lighting designers in its feature development , aiming to streamline their workflows and simplify their tasks . By using Metaroom , lighting designers can save significant time when designing and placing luminaires . Projects can be conveniently downloaded from Metaroom Studio and imported into DIALux . The planning results can then be exported as an IFC model for the Open BIM process or other programs , significantly reducing the workload .
Martin Huber , CEO of Amrax , said : “ Advances in 3D modelling , software and AI are combining to democratise design . Lighting designers and electrical planners now have access to powerful tools that significantly enhance efficiency , enabling them to serve more customers in less time . This is going to lead to a revolution in how buildings are designed and how we all interact with our built environment .
“ Partnerships between cutting edge solutions like Metaroom and DIALux are key to powering this change . By creating an extensive ecosystem of lighting design solutions , we will significantly
