Introducing the NavVis VLX 3
Scan more. Process more. Offer more. Win more.
Meet the industry-leading, wearable mobile mapping system that efficiently delivers comprehensive, highly detailed reality capture data to laser scanning professionals for complex sites, both indoor and outdoor.
Precision, accuracy, and reliability are central to what you do - they are the core principles of reality capture. And despite rapid changes, tighter budgets, and complex projects with stringent requirements, you’re still expected to do more - scan more, process more, model more, and offer more - with less.
New methods and tools need to integrate with and evolve existing toolkits and practices. Drawing on the established power of software and the cloud, NavVis VLX helps you expand your scanning, processing, and modeling toolkit in a natural, necessary way.
All-in-one, highly-detailed reality capture
Comprehensively capture 3D measurements with two 32-layer lidar sensors in combination with groundbreaking SLAM software to deliver industry leading point cloud quality for a wearable device. Four cameras positioned on top of the device take high-resolution, sharp images in every direction for a complete 360º image — all without the operator appearing in the field of view.
Superb accuracy
For accuracy that exceeds industry standards, NavVis VLX 3 is powered by precision SLAM technology that’s entirely in a class of its own.
Precision meets ergonomics
A first-of-its-kind wearable device which enables operators to comfortably scan at the speed of walking. The forward-facing design allows for targeted scanning, together with a built-in screen for optimal viewing. Comes fully equipped with:
- Grip pads
- Shoulder pads
- Built-in screen
- Forward-facing design
- Stabilizing belt
Live scanning feeback
Monitor your scanning progress in real time with a built-in touchscreen interface to ensure complete coverage as you move.
Geo-registration
NavVis VLX 3 takes your laser scanning and survey workflows to the next level. It’s fully compatible with standard tools in the field, and can capture control points in a local site coordinate system measured by both Total Stations and GNSS rovers. It also supports national and global coordinates for precise geo- registration and alignment of datasets.
Innovative folding design
The unique hinged design folds up and fits into a protective case or backpack, so that a single operator can easily transport and set up.
Seamless transportation
With multiple methods of transporting NavVis VLX 3, moving around and between sites has never been simpler. A protective, hard-shelled case on wheels enables air and rail travel, while a compact, sturdy backpack allows you to move to and from your site with ease.
Complete coverage
With a nearly unobstructed field of view, NavVis VLX 3 delivers comprehensive coverage of both indoor and outdoor environments so you can scan more at scale.
Industry-leading data quality
Preserve original details
Point cloud surface reconstruction preserves details while removing noise for more efficient use in 2D drawings and 3D models.
Highly realistic texturing
Highly detailed point clouds include color and realistic texturing.
Detect and remove dynamic objects
Objects that move through the scan are automatically detected and removed from point clouds during postprocessing, resulting in less manual work.
Robust SLAM
Robust SLAM algorithms can accurately capture the entire building including the facade and surroundings.
High detail at range
State-of-the-art lidar sensors generate twice the amount of data at range, optimizing the level of detail that can be extracted from the point cloud improving modeling accuracy and precision.
Reduced point cloud noise
NavVis VLX 3 generates sharper details and thinner point cloud slices for precise modeling and meshing results.
Cansel offers both the NavVis VLX 2 and the NavVis VLX 3.
