Add on LiDAR scanner turns smartphone into ‘long-range’ reality capture solution
Q3D Sensing is gearing up for the Q2 launch of AuraGO, a compact reality capture device with a LiDAR sensor that attaches directly to a smartphone or tablet to deliver ‘high precision’ scanning data.
The AuraGO is said to deliver centimetre-level accuracy and precision with ‘long-range’ 100x the area coverage of embedded phone LiDAR.
According to Q3D Sensing, the device can be used to capture entire floors, long corridors, crash scenes, and outdoor facilities in a single coordinated scene.
The AuraGO measures 71 × 71 × 49 mm, weighs 250 g, and offers a working range of 0.5 m to 30 m. It features a 70° × 45° field of view and is powered via a smartphone or an external battery.
It works with the Q3D Scan app, which has been developed in partnership with DotProduct, developer of mature 3D reality capture software Dot3D.
The Q3D Scan app is used to capture, process and export into standard industry formats (DP, E57, LAS, LAZ, PTS, PLY, PTX, PTG) and ‘fully integrates’ with Dot3D’s ecosystem.
