Leica Geosystems redefined the imaging laser scanner market with the launch of the Leica BLK360, the world’s smallest and most powerful portable 3D imaging laser scanner. The Matterport media platform makes it easy for anyone to create immersive 3D and digital reality versions of real-world spaces for the web, mobile and tablet devices, and VR headsets.
The integration between the Leica Geosystems BLK360 and the Matterport platform is relevant to a wide variety of industries, especially in the residential and commercial real estate as well as AEC markets. For example, in commercial real estate you can engage decision makers and add critical value to the buying/leasing process with dimensionally accurate 3D walkthroughs.
