Clirio

What Clirio does

Clirio is an extended-reality software company that builds tools for capturing, organizing, and sharing worksite field data as georeferenced 3D visualizations. Its platform consists of three core components: Clirio Scan, a mobile application that uses LiDAR sensors on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro devices to capture 3D scans of worksites and assets; Clirio View, a master iOS and Microsoft HoloLens 2 application for viewing scans, annotating photos, organizing observations, and hosting virtual collaborative meetings; and Clirio Cloud, a browser-based portal for uploading and managing multi-format datasets including CAD, GIS, photogrammetry, LiDAR, subsurface, and geophysics data. A PC desktop application supports non-immersive viewing.

The company targets enterprise and government customers in vertical markets such as civil construction and transportation, geology and resource extraction, geohazard and environmental engineering, land and asset management, energy and utilities, and archaeology and heritage. Named customers and case studies include Barrick Gold, Anglo American, Hudbay, Suncor, BC Hydro, the US Department of Transportation, Caltrans, the Office of Federal Lands Highway, the National Park Service, the US Department of Labor, and the Yukon Government, among others. Clirio claims mobile LiDAR accuracy of approximately 1cm for small objects and 2cm average error for 10m x 10m areas.

Clirio monetizes through a freemium SaaS model: a free tier for joining virtual meetings and exploring public workspaces, a Premium subscription at $89 per month with content creation and 10GB storage, and a custom-priced Enterprise tier offering unlimited workspaces, training, and bulk pricing. Beyond self-serve, Clirio Studio provides custom digital twin, holographic content, and training application development for enterprise and government clients. The company is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, was founded in 2020, operates with 1-10 employees, and relies on Microsoft Azure for cloud infrastructure.

Core offering

Clirio provides a SaaS platform for mixed-reality (XR) visualization of engineering and worksite data, comprising mobile apps (Clirio View and Clirio Scan) for capturing georeferenced photos, notes, and 3D LiDAR scans, plus Clirio Cloud for managing multi-format 3D datasets (CAD, GIS, photogrammetry, LiDAR, subsurface) and a PC desktop viewer. The platform enables field workers and remote experts to collaborate in real-time holographic sessions on digital twins of project sites. Clirio Studio additionally offers custom immersive content, digital twin design, and training application development for enterprise and government clients.

Product overview

Clirio is an extended-reality (XR) software platform comprising three core mobile applications—Clirio View (iOS/HoloLens master app for field observation capture and collaboration), Clirio Scan (LiDAR-enabled iOS scanning app), and Clirio Cloud (web-based data management portal)—plus a PC desktop application for viewing. The platform enables field workers to capture georeferenced photos, notes, voice memos, and 3D LiDAR scans, organize them on map-based workspaces, and collaborate with remote experts via virtual holographic meetings. Clirio also offers Custom Development Services and Studio Services for creating bespoke immersive experiences, digital twins, and training applications for enterprise and government clients.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Microsoft AzurecoreTechnology or IntegrationClirio leverages Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure for secure data storage and processing. All user data is securely stored on Azure servers protected by Microsoft authentication and access systems. Clirio Cloud uses Azure to render complex 3D engineering data and deliver it securely to clients worldwide.
• Microsoft HoloLenscoreTechnology or IntegrationClirio supports Microsoft HoloLens 2 for immersive mixed reality viewing. Spatial audio on HoloLens makes virtual meeting participants feel present in the room. Clirio also integrates with Microsoft Remote Assist as part of training content development.
• Apple (iOS/iPad Pro)coreTechnology or IntegrationClirio's core scanning functionality depends on LiDAR sensors in iPhone Pro and iPad Pro devices. Apps require iOS 15 and cellular data capability for GPS positioning. The company is positioned as an Apple-focused solution for field data capture.

Emerging players

• OpenSpace: OpenSpace uses 360° capture and AI to document construction progress; it competes with Clirio on the 'field capture + remote review' workflow for civil construction and shares the same enterprise buyer persona.
• HoloBuilder (by FARO): HoloBuilder offers 360° progress capture and remote collaboration for construction projects, overlapping Clirio's site documentation and remote stakeholder review use cases for AEC customers.
• Avvir: Avvir compares as-built scans to BIM models to verify construction progress, overlapping Clirio's scan comparison tool and proof-of-work use cases for building and infrastructure projects.
• Reconstruct: Reconstruct creates digital twins of buildings from visual and BIM data for facilities and construction management — comparable to Clirio's Clirio Cloud digital twin and land/asset management focus.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk: Autodesk Tandem, Revit, and Construction Cloud provide digital twin and infrastructure visualization for AEC, directly comparable to Clirio's CAD/GIS integration and engineering-data-to-hologram pipeline.
• Bentley Systems: Bentley's iTwin and Synchro platforms provide digital twins, infrastructure visualization, and construction progress tracking, overlapping with Clirio's georeferenced holographic collaboration for engineering and infrastructure projects.
• Esri: Esri's ArcGIS ecosystem underpins geospatial data workflows across the same civil, mining, and government verticals Clirio targets, with growing AR/3D scene viewing capabilities that compete with Clirio Cloud's GIS overlay.
• Trimble: Trimble's SiteVision and mixed-reality solutions overlay BIM/GIS data on physical sites using LiDAR-equipped mobile devices, directly competing with Clirio's worksite visualization use cases for civil construction and infrastructure.
• Hexagon (Leica Geosystems): Leica's BLK series and RTC360 LiDAR scanners plus HxGN SDx and reality-capture software compete with Clirio's LiDAR-based site capture and geospatial visualization for surveying and infrastructure customers.

Direct peers

• Matterport: Matterport provides LiDAR/photogrammetry-based 3D capture and cloud visualization with sharing and collaboration — a directly comparable consumer-friendly capture-to-share workflow to Clirio View and Clirio Scan.
