What are the benefits of using Executive Virtual Tours?

We use a handheld scanner for quicker turnarounds that still give top quality products.

How does the camera work?

We use a Leica BLK2GO camera. It uses different technologies to help build a 3D digital replica of a space.

BLK2GO’s GrandSLAM technology combines LiDAR SLAM, Visual SLAM and an IMU to deliver best-in-class handheld mobile mapping performance. Gain speed and confidence when capturing large indoor, outdoor, underground, complex andmulti-level spaces.

The BLK2GO identifies different surfaces and unique geometry in the LiDAR data, which it analyzes to calculate its 3D position.

Three panoramic cameras identify similarities between consecutive images to calculate the scanners movement through 3D space.

While you walk, the IMU (Internal Measurement Unit) senses your movement to calculate the BLK2GO’s change of position in 3D space.
