From Scan to the Virtual and Interactive World

FARO offers 3D digitizing technology for the efficient transfer of real environments and objectives into the virtual world as well as photorealistic imaging in interactive real-time applications.

Scan the Scenery

Capture real world environments

FARO’s powerful 3D scanning technology makes it possible to capture large scenes, landscapes and cultural monuments as well as small objects, artifacts and products precisely and efficiently. All scan data and all details are available digitally in a very short time.

Process and Design

Model and modify the scene

Once all scan data has been captured, it can be further processed for virtual or photorealistic scenes, depending on the application. While the triangulation of 3D point clouds to detailed polygon models is in the foreground for film productions, processing using retropology is used for real-time graphics.

Finished Computer Graphics

Film and game creation

Use final textured surfaces of the scans for impressive visualizations, e.g. in movie production (offline rendering). Or produce interactive virtual reality applications and computer games by real-time rendering of the modified source data.

SCENE

FARO SCENE

Align scans using real time on-site registration / Measure, 3D visualize, export scan data / Utilize many plug-in apps

FARO SCENE software is specifically designed for FocusS Series Laser Scanners and Freestyle Scanners. SCENE processes and manages scan data efficiently and easily by using real time, on-site registration, automatic object recognition, moving objects filter, scan registration and positioning.

  • Real time, on-site registration for FocusS scan data accelerates reality capture
  • Moving Objects Filter enables unwanted people, vehicles or machinery captured in the scene during the scanning process to be automatically detected and removed
  • FARO Laser High Dynamic Range (Laser-HDR™) support – create impressive HDR quality images in a substantially short amount of time
  • Powerful 3D mesh engine allows for automatic modeling of free form shapes and enables textured meshes which can be exported as .obj and then imported as reality capture data into other applications
  • Intuitive user interface offers guidance for complex tasks
  • Powerful Virtual Reality View enables management of 3D scan data in immersive detail
