According to the firm, the new BLK360 creates photorealistic, accurate digital twins within just 20 seconds. Like its predecessor, the new BLK360 can introduce reality capture to new industries and markets due to its speed, portability, and ease of use. The new BLK360 is said to be an ideal sensor for any application requiring fast, up-to-date scanning, such as digital construction and building life cycle monitoring. It enables users to move quickly about any environment without interruption, viewing and sharing the data during the capture process to provide real-time access to updated digital twins. The BLK360 is said to boost Hexagon’s portfolio of sensor-software systems. These can generate Smart Digital Realities by merging digital and physical worlds in real time. Combined, the new scanning and imaging technologies onboard the BLK360 enable fast and accurate reality capture 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.
