inCitu brings Autodesk planning and design data into augmented reality (AR), making it easy to assess, iterate, and communicate proposals in real-world context. With a direct plugin to Autodesk Forma and a Data Exchange integration, teams can send projects to AR in minutes - viewing designs at full scale on-site or remotely, and quickly testing ideas where they matter most.
Founded in 2020, inCitu supports a global community of 8,000+ urban AR creators across 132 countries and 40 U.S. states, and partners with 15 City Enterprise clients including NYC, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and Phoenix. Integrated with digital twins and GIS platforms, inCitu has been used to evaluate transit, climate resilience, and housing projects helping teams move from proposal to approval with greater speed, clarity, and confidence.
"For years we have been looking for a web-based AR application that links into existing civic workflows."
The City of Phoenix is rethinking how residents engage with development through its Office of Innovation. Partnering with inCitu, the City is using mobile augmented reality (AR) to let residents preview future projects by simply scanning a QR code (on-site or from home) without needing to download an app. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBYniouCGSQ https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/328cbc9107644e5da990679bc7df7637
inCitu uses AR to translate planning, GIS, and design data into real-world experiences, helping cities and practitioners communicate proposals more clearly and engage communities more effectively. https://www.lincolninst.edu/publications/land-lines-magazine/articles/augmented-reality-offers-a-new-perspective-on-urban-planning/
