Arkio vs CenarioVR

Arkio is a design collaboration tool for architects and other spatial designers. Its solid-modeling tools support boolean operations and parametric volumes, while meeting participants can view and edit the same scene together in real time. For design review, users can save views, add voice-transcribed notes, make AI renders, and collaborate on 2D frames. Plugins connect Arkio with Archicad, Navisworks, Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp for model and related-data import or export. The free Starter plan includes the modeling tools, one-on-one meetings, and OBJ, GLB, and image import and export. Pro allows up to six meeting participants and includes 500 AI credits per month; it costs $35/user/mo with annual billing or $45/user/mo with monthly billing. Enterprise supports up to 24 participants and includes 1,000 monthly AI credits per license. Each AI render uses one credit, and credits renew monthly. Arkio runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. A Pro license can be installed on two devices but used on only one at a time.

CenarioVR is a no-code platform for creating immersive VR learning courses. Authors build scenes from equirectangular images or 360-degree video, then add questions, hotspots, info cards, multimedia, 3D models, and drag-and-drop interactions. Conditional branching, timed objects, linked scenes, quizzes, and spatial audio support interactive learning paths. GLB objects can be positioned, rotated, animated, and used as hotspots. Courses can be published in SCORM, xAPI, cmi5, or HTML formats and delivered through an LMS. xAPI tracking and an analytics dashboard provide real-time performance data. Published content can be viewed in Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari, through iOS and Android apps, in Windows standalone mode, or on listed VR headsets such as Meta Quest, HTC Vive, Lenovo Mirage S3, and Pico. Phones and tablets need an accelerometer for VR features, while authoring requires a laptop or computer. The Stand Alone App plan starts at $5,268 a year.
