This integration is anticipated to be a strategic technology advancement, enabling unprecedented workflows where Mindesk-based AR design reviews will introduce real-time interaction and editing of BIM assets, in addition to visualisation.
This platform evolution seeks to integrate Autodesk Revit on all Windows Mixed Reality devices, including VR headsets such as the HP Reverb 2 and the Microsoft Hololens 2, ensuring more accessible collaborative review sessions on web interfaces based on WebXR, enabling a virtually infinite number of participants to join the same design session. The interface will address both engineering applications focused on parametric design, and architectural applications focused on photorealism, opening significant opportunities to leverage Epic Games’ Unreal Engine thanks to the Company’s partnership and past collaborations.
The full native integration of Microsoft Hololens AR and Building Information Modelling ( BIM ) software will assist the AEC, naval and mechanical design industries to secure a simple access point to BIM assets via Microsoft Hololens 2, without any model conversion, wait time, data preparation or specific technical skill-set, for unprecedented collaborative workflows.

the Microsoft Hololens 2 Autodesk RFP is not determinable at this time, with direct revenue subject to successful integration and commercialisation of Mindesk for Autodesk Revit and Microsoft Hololens 2, this announcement is anticipated to be material for the Company. This view is based on Vection integrating its Mindesk platform into the most widespread BIM software and XR device, representing a material development of the Company’s operations.
Gabriele Sorrento, Director of Vection Technologies and CEO of Mindesk, commented :
“Vection Technologies’ leap into the BIM world represents a cornerstone evolution of our Mindesk Real-Time platform.
The integration with Revit will allow the Company to tap into an 11 million user base to further accelerate its growth strategy. Revit is the most adopted BIM platform in the AEC industry and both existing and potential Mindesk customers have been waiting for Virtual and Augmented Reality to be natively integrated with their preferred BIM software. This development consolidates the ongoing relation with existing customers as it unlocks the synergic use of Rhinoceros and Revit into an immersive and collaborative workspace”
Gianmarco Biagi, Managing Director of Vection Technologies, commented :
“The collaboration with Autodesk and Microsoft is a strategic initiative aimed at the integration of Vection’s XR technology into the leading BIM software and AR hardware, further reinforcing our strong intention to establish a long-term presence in the United States market.
The management team remains strongly committed to the achievement of the 6-months objectives, with initiatives to pursue long-term revenue generation coming to fruition during the the second half of the current financial year, aligned with the June 2022 50% ARR goal.”
