In line with the Leica BLK series, the new BLK360 creates accurate digital image data within 20 seconds. Like its predecessor, the new BLK360 enables users to introduce reality capture to new industries and markets.
The new BLK360 sensor is designed for any application requiring up-to-date scanning, such as digital construction and building lifecycle monitoring. It enables users to move in any environment without interruption, viewing and sharing the data during the capture process to provide real-time access to updated digital twins.
“We continue to bring speed and agility to reality capture to accelerate the world’s sustainable transformation with Smart Digital Realities that free industry to do its best work. When you have an up-to-date, 1:1 digital twin of reality fused with infinite, real-time data from the physical and digital worlds – you gain ubiquitous access to invaluable insight. Not only can this save time but also eliminate human error to improve safety and reduce waste,” said Hexagon president and CEO Ola Rollén.
“If reality capture can continue to keep up, or even outpace, the needs of modern industry while also improving sustainability, everyone wins,” continued Rollén. “The new BLK360 is a vital tool for democratizing reality capture in so many different applications – from public planning, architecture, construction and environmental applications to the advancement of media & entertainment by supporting the creation of mind-bending visual effects. The possibilities are endless.”
The BLK360 adds to Hexagon’s portfolio of sensor-software systems, which form the basis for creating Smart Digital Realities by fusing the digital and physical worlds, in real-time. Combined, the new scanning and imaging technologies onboard the BLK360 enable reality capture workflows. Depending on the project scope and size, a BLK360 user could save days or weeks with rapid scanning, pre-registered data, and high-speed transfer to preferred software workflows. BLK360 data can be automatically uploaded to HxDR, Hexagon’s cloud-based reality capture platform where users can build their own Smart Digital Realities.
