The Leica BLK360 captures the world around you with full-color panoramic images overlaid on a high-accuracy point cloud. Simple to use with just the single push of one button, the BLK360 is the smallest and lightest of its kind. Anyone who can operate an iPad can now capture the world around them with high resolution 3D panoramic images.

Using the ReCap Pro mobile app, the BLK360 streams image and point cloud data to iPad. The app filters and registers scan data in real time. After capture, ReCap Pro enables point cloud data transfer to a number of CAD, BIM, VR and AR applications. The integration of BLK360 and Autodesk software dramatically streamlines the reality capture process thereby opening this technology to non-surveying individuals.

To date, the BLK360 has earned several prestigious industry awards in Europe as well as globally including the ‘2017 Product Innovation of the Year’ recognition at both the London Construction Awards and the Building Awards in the UK and the best ‘Digital, BIM & New Technology’ at the Mondial du Bâtiment Innovation Awards in France.

 The BLK360’s stated range of 196 ft (60m) and its ability to operate in direct sunlight makes it the ideal capture option for large open areas such as the outdoor parts of construction sites, large warehouses, shopping malls, stadiums, and factories, as well as facades of commercial buildings. This range has allowed the distance between captures to be as much as 50 feet in early tests, which will enable operators to quickly move the scanner through larger areas.  

FROM ABOVE!!!! BLK360 opens a lot of opportunities for Matterport photographers across industries including AEC, commercial real estate, insurance and many others. For BLK360 users, using the Matterport Capture app improves turn around time, removes human error, and automates the auto stitching, cutting down significantly on the post-processing time.

XXXXXXXThe integration of technologies from Leica Geosystems and Matterport is designed to create a complete solution that simplifies capture, automates reconstruction and provides the ability to integrate third-party apps. It is further amplified by artificial intelligence (AI) technology which provides an added level of intelligence, automation, and time savings. The extremely simple user experience includes real-time feedback and is designed to enable the capture and confirmation of images and 3D data from both the BLK360 imaging laser scanner and Matterport Pro2 camera on-site, resulting in lower costs, less time on site, and quicker deployment across a distributed set of projects. For the customer, this means not only a revolutionary new way to capture a space but, in addition, it enables immersive visualisation and the most state-of-the-art way to interact and collaborate around a real-world space.
