How would you benefit from our Digital Twins? With every 3D LiDAR survey that we produce we give our clients access to their Digital Twin of the site. The ability to be 'Virtually' on-site 24/7 from your office desk has been a game-changer for our clients. There are several viewing modes: ◾ Dolls-house ◾ Plan View ◾ Walk-around Anybody can easily navigate the Digital Twin to view and understand the site. It doesn't matter if you were on-site last week, last year, or have never visited site. Within minutes you will understand the layout and be able to see and identify any issues. The uses for this are only limited by your imagination, for example: ◾ Plan every stage of your project ◾ Produce meaningful RAMS ◾ Take screen-shots of the 4K views to share ◾ Share, navigate and discuss the site on Teams Calls ◾ Have a permanent record of the site when surveyed should you need to discuss any changes ect with your clients ◾ Walk the site crew around the site prior to installation ◾ Commission a 2nd as-built scan to showcase a digital twin on your website ◾ Walk-around site using a VR headset ◾ Walk your sub-contractors 'virtually' around site without any safety issues and to avoid travelling ◾ Take site-measurement from within the Digital Twin If you think you can use Digital Twins within your business give us a call so that we can fully explain all of the potential benefits to give your business the edge. #digitaltwin #digitaltwins #3D #projectmanagement #planning #LiDAR #3Dsurveys #gamechanger #tekla #autocad #vr #maincontractor

X-ray Vision for Urban Maintenance: AR and Photogrammetry The use of augmented reality with photogrammetry techniques is revolutionizing the management of maintenance for urban infrastructure networks. This technology allows real-time visualization of the exact position of infrastructure, making the ground or asphalt transparent and providing a sort of X-ray vision. This enables operators to easily identify faults and plan interventions with greater precision, optimizing time and resources. Moreover, the use of augmented reality makes the maintenance process more efficient and safer, while also reducing costs and improving the quality of service provided to the community.

AR/VR aerial mapping is a key innovation area in virtual and augmented reality

After picking up a Meta Quest 3, and quite frankly, being blown away by it.  I was curious to try and create a 3D Video for VR. Turned to Twinmotion for this as it can render out not only 3D images, but also 360 3D images and video - allowing you to look around in a video. Ran into a couple of issues with 360 3D VR and render times… but the standard 3D Video output was quite impressive.  It reminded me of Apples new ‘spatial video’ format they have created for the Vision Pro.  Which then got me thinking about the Nintendo 3DS and its Parallax Barrier 3D screen. That didn’t require glasses but still produced an impressive 3D image – especially considering its 2011 release date! I wonder if we might see an iPhone with a similar tech in the future that could display their ‘Spatial Video’ tech on a phone screen... ? Anywho, I’ve uploaded a version of my 3D Video to YouTube – if you have a VR headset that can check it out here:  https://lnkd.in/dZrjgtif YT Quality is not great, so if interested, you can download and drop the native file onto your own Quest: https://lnkd.in/dha7MQjq Interestingly, YT also converts it to Anaglyph 3D if it detects you are viewing the video on a 2D screen!  Oh!  And the subject…. I’ll post something more detailed later, but capture was via a hybrid mix of FARO Technologies TLS and Trimble Inc. R12i GNSS. And as is often the case, Derek Lawrence made up the dynamic duo! 

I'm thrilled to share some exciting advancements in fire investigation technology that I've been experimenting with recently. I've been working on a project using LiDAR scanning to capture fire scenes, and the results have been nothing short of revolutionary. There's much more work to be done, but seeing the potential for this technology has been really cool. LiDAR📡(Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to create precise, three-dimensional representations of environments. This cutting-edge technology is the future for documenting fire scenes with incredible detail and accuracy. This technology has made it's way into cell phones and tablets recently, so it's available without being prohibitively expensive. LiDAR + Virtual Reality = Game Changer 🎮🔥 Combining LiDAR scans with a Virtual Reality (VR) Headset I can immerse myself in a 3D Virtual representation of the fire scene, examining fire patterns, fire effects, structural damage, and potential points of origin in a realistic and interactive environment. Training and Collaboration: 📋The VR environments created from LiDAR scans are fantastic for training new investigators, allowing them to learn from real-life scenarios. Additionally, you can collaborate with experts from around the world, virtually "walking through" the scene together to gather insights. (Like...you're actually standing together in the virtual room, at the same time. It's crazy) Legal and Insurance Processes: ⚖️ Detailed 3D models of fire scenes are incredibly valuable in legal contexts and for insurance claims, offering clear, visual evidence that supports our findings as investigators. I'm excited to see how these innovations will further evolve and shape the future of the fire investigation field. 🔎🔥 #FireInvestigation #LiDAR #VirtualReality #FireSafety #InvestigationTech #VR #3DModeling #FutureOfFireInvestigation #FireProtection #FireScience

Looking for a beginner friendly way to a) 3d capture an empty apartment without liDAR, preferably from android-phone-cam. Heard a lot about gaussian splats and NeRFs, but didn't try anything in that direction so far. b) create a digital twin of the apartment so I can preview furniture and decoration in VR I have a high-end-consumer-pc, so solution can be heavy on GPU :)
