FARO^® UNVEILS ORBIS™ MOBILE SCANNER

FARO Technologies announced the release of the FARO^® Orbis™ Mobile Scanner, a groundbreaking advancement set to redefine 3D reality capture.

Orbis is the first to market hybrid SLAM scanner that can be used for both mobile and stationary data capture in one device. Offering local or cloud-based data processing and collaboration, Orbis is the latest evolution in FARO's industry-leading Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)-enabled LiDAR technology.

Built on FARO's legacy in tripod-based scanning and proprietary Flash technology, Orbis operators can seamlessly switch between walking and stationary scanning while continuously acquiring 360° images, ten times faster than using a traditional static laser scanner.

Users across geospatial, architecture, engineering, construction, operations & maintenance, public safety and mining will now have the ability to capture highly accurate, detailed scans from a simple-to-use mobile device. With significant new functionality, Sphere XG, the latest version of Sphere, represents the evolution in cloud capabilities. Users can integrate data from static scanning, mobile scanning, 360° capture and iPhone LiDAR data all within a single, digital reality workflow platform. Project stakeholders can upload, view, measure and analyze 3D point clouds, 360° images and BIM (building information modelling) data for centralized cloud-based data storage and collaboration.
