Reality Data are created from sensors & software with limited if no human intervention and represents the real world in a way that is very close to human perception. The generated data types are: Point Clouds, Reality Meshes, OrthoImages, 3D Images / GeoPhotos (i.e. photos of the real world with a notion of geolocation, from a simple location to a fully defined 3D pose with rotation).

You can link Reality Data to the project from under Administration > Reality management

 

If you already have access to PW ContextShare, you can Associate an existing Reality Data

1 – Select Associate

2 – Search for the desired Reality data

3 – Select the Reality data

4 – Click on Associate

This will make the Reality Data available for all iModels in the project.

If the Reality Data has been processed and is web-ready, it will be highlighted as a blue link and upon selection will open the model in the reality data viewer.

To create a new Reality Data, the best practice is to use iTwin Capture Import & Upload tool.

This is a free tool that can be downloaded from here -https://softwaredownloads.bentley.com/en/ProductDetails/3115
Refer to the following wiki for best practices on optimizing and uploading Reality Data -  Optimizing & Uploading Reality Data for iTwin
