Hand Held 3D Data Capture on a Tablet

Get high-quality spatial data in the field with hand held tablet imager
Varitronics is proud to partner with DotProduct, which has developed software and a 3D OS for mobile devices that enables 3D cameras to capture 3D data in real time, save it as point-cloud images, and then read them into Revit, Navisworks or AutoCAD.
The integrated system is fully portable, affordable, and requires no insurance or extensive training.
DotProduct develops high performance, easy-to-use solutions for capturing 3D data. This technology is designed for mobile professionals who need high-quality spatial data, instantly.
The Phi.3D 2.0 software turns an Android tablet into a 3D-capture and processing solution.

What it does
-
The DPI-8 imager enables you to scan small areas not reachable by large HD scanning equipment.
-
It brings hard costs down to 5-10% of what large imaging systems cost.
-
The product is simple to use and requires little training.
-
Truly mobile - runs on battery - no PC or Cloud service required.
-
Its compressed 20-30x point cloud files can be sent via email or WiFi
-
Provides good precision (see DPI-8 brochure for info)
-
The software is easy to upgrade, and hardware can be swapped out as technology changes
How it works
-
The DPI-8 solution uses proprietary Phi.3D 2.0 software, a 3D operating system for mobile devices using simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms that enables 3D cameras to deliver HD 3D reconstruction and localization in real time on mobile devices -- no cloud needed.
-
This powerful software is run on an ordinary, hand-held tablet computer, to which are added an RGB camera, an infra-red camera, and an infra-red sensor.
-
Image quality is shown on the screen as it is captured, so corrections can be made in real time, before you leave the site.
-
Captured 3D data is stitched together and saved.
-
After scanning is completed in the field, the point-cloud images can be read by many software applications, including Navisworks, Revit and AutoCAD.
What you can do with it
-
Get measurements from the scan, take the job site back to the office
-
Document existing conditions
-
Import into Navisworks for clash detection
-
Track construction progress by scanning periodically
-
Import into Revit models, or develop models from the scans
-
Save time and money!
