Trimble Discusses Reality Capture Software and Hardware at Intergeo 2024
Summary
On Monday, we covered some of the broad takeaways from our week in Stuttgart, Germany, and we’ve also been highlighting conversations with some of these large companies exhibiting at the show. Geo Week News had some time to visit their booth over the course of the week, and took the opportunity to sit down with Gregor Willhauck, Trimble’s Cloud Solutions Market Manager, to talk about some of their reality capture solutions, including the recently announced Reality Capture Platform. That now allows users to bring their reality capture data into Connect and seamlessly work with that and build a collaboration workflow.” Professionals had their chance to check out the platform at Intergeo, and Willhauck notes that there has been positive feedback, with some of the most common questions being around data security and integration with other platforms. Right now, the main use case is to view, manage, and share reality capture data, but he sees future iterations including the leveraging of artificial intelligence to analyze and filter the datasets. While not brand new, the X9 is the company’s latest laser scanner, and now serves as their “core hardware platform.” What is interesting is that they are now offering the hardware as a subscription, lowering the initial buying cost and giving users the ability to upgrade their firmware to allow for longer range for their scans.
