BIMx the first 3D AEC app to utilize retina display

Graphisoft recently announced that the BIMx 1.2.455 update for iPhone/iPad app provides native support for the iPad 3 Retina display. According to Graphisoft, this results in crisper images and enhanced virtual reality for the user. The quadrupled pixel count makes the application of interactive 3D apps like BIMx a difficult task. With BIMx and ArchiCAD, architects and designers can explore their project designs in a 3D environment that supports real-time 3D navigation identical to mainstream computer games.
