Hello Georg,
I certainly didn't intend to criticize the VLX: your team did a great job, and there is a world between the VLX and what I saw some years ago with the Zeb Revo.
But as I'm involved in industrial piping & process, I have a tendency to zoom in when I get scans.
As I said, the VLX is perfect for classical BIM. I also offers a smoother rendering of colors.
With terrestrial laser scanners, we are closer to a building metrology : flatness, beam bending, pipes / flanges modeling...
This requires a good scanner and very good practices.
In my example above, the height map of the TLS could have been improved by unlocking the inclinometer on some scanning positions, because it often introduces a small mismatch. This is why we see some red stipes on yellow areas.

Re: NavVis VLX - wearable mapping
Thanks Yan, all good and your feedback is much appreciated! That how we learn and make further progress. Forgive me when I come over a bit defensive sometimes.. I guess that's because the VLX feels to me and the people at NavVis as more than just a product

Re: NavVis VLX - wearable mapping
Hey guys,
i recently teamed up with one of our partners in germany to validate the speed and quality of data capturing with Navvis M6 and VLX. The results you can see below in the video. I am curios on your thoughts on the result.
Btw: for better look inside i cutted some outer walls

Is this a new product (side development) from NavVis?
Let's hope not!

Re: NavVis VLX - wearable mapping
Omg, haha, I first thought that's a photoshop
Seems the virus has more side effects than we all thought
But check out this amazing unboxing video for the VLX. Of course I am biased, but probably the best unboxing video I have ever seen

Re: NavVis VLX - wearable mapping
Nice video and point cloud looks good. Couple of questions, what was the main tool for capture, M6 or VLX?Veit wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 3:54 pm Hey guys,

Also, how did you capture the clock tower with the narrow staircase etc?
