SLAM
Technology

The creative SLAM technology (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) allows the viewer to closely follow the scanning process in real-time. During scanning, the system autonomously locates itself while simultaneously creating a detailed map of the environment. Using point-cloud technology, a 3D mesh is generated, providing a vivid representation of the surroundings. This enables viewers to perceive and capture walls, objects, proportions, and distances with great precision.

Interaction

Our state-of-the-art laser scanners are conveniently controlled via a digital app. In collaboration with Hexagon, we have created user-friendly interfaces suitable for a variety of similar products. The software is designed to be intuitive and consistent to use, ensuring clear handling and optimal functionality of the devices.

BLK2GO
mobile and
effortless

The BLK2GO is a handheld laser scanner that creates an accurate digital 3D twin of a space while you walk. This innovative technology offers a quick and effortless way to scan large buildings, complex structures, and expansive environments. With a single button press, the BLK2GO is activated and ready for use immediately. As the user moves, the device captures millions of precise measurements to represent the space in detailed and accurate 3D.

Scanning

BLK2FLY stands out as the world's first fully integrated LiDAR UAV. As an autonomously flying laser scanner, it features advanced obstacle avoidance to effortlessly capture reality from the air. With just a few taps on a tablet, BLK2FLY automatically captures external features and dimensions of buildings. The accompanying tablet app enables convenient control and management of the scanning process. The black-and-white design of the user interface emphasizes a clean look. This deliberate simplification with straightforward icons and clear labels makes user interaction as easy as possible.

concept

The user interface has been designed with a clear focus on product design, deliberately avoiding anything unnecessary. The dominant black color exudes modern elegance and conveys premium quality, all while maintaining a minimalist overall appearance. Interaction with the product is centered around a single button, with an LED indicating the current status – whether green, yellow, or red. This targeted use of colors enables direct communication with the user. The result? A precise, intuitive, and elegant tech UI perfectly tailored to the product.
