Bentley: Reality Modeling for Infrastructure Going Mainstream

At Bentley System’s Year in Infrastructure 2016 Conference last week in London, Bentley CEO Greg Bentley made the case in his keynote that since his company’s acquisition and assimilation of ContextCapture software in 2015, the proliferation of reality modeling across users’ projects — and across Bentley’s software portfolio — shows that it will become a mainstream contributor to infrastructure project delivery and asset performance.

Reality modeling describes the potentially continuous capture of infrastructure assets’ as-operated conditions for processing into engineering-ready reality meshes, and their “enlivening” for immersive interaction.
