Turn NavVis point clouds and panoramic imagery into georeferenced, ready-to-share geodata in GEORIZON, without a licence per user.
A VLX is at its best in large, continuous spaces: a distribution centre, a production hall, a platform, a car park. You walk a relatively short path and cover an enormous floor area. That is exactly the shape of project where a price per scanned square metre works against you, because NavVis calculates processing units on the scanned area and the rate depends on the device and the processing mode. Worth knowing: this applies to the VLX and the MLX, where processing units have to be estimated up front. The newer CLX runs on a flat rate entitlement per device instead, so on that machine the argument does not hold. Our model is the other way round. We bill on the trajectory of the recording, so the surface you cover along the way does not change the price. The wider the space, the bigger that difference becomes.
This is the part that surprises most VLX owners. NavVis documents it plainly: if your System Software subscription has expired, scanning with the VLX still works, but IVION Processing does not, and the data can only be processed while you hold a valid subscription. Desktop Processing is tied to the serial number of your device, with its own update subscription, and once that runs out you can no longer process that device’s data with the current software. You own the hardware, but not the ability to turn its output into something usable. With us the data leaves in open formats: LAZ, COPC, E57, 3D Tiles and JPG, with standardised metadata, and it stays readable whatever you decide next year.
A processed VLX dataset is normally published within one working day. You receive a colourised point cloud, panoramic imagery with faces and number plates blurred, and a trajectory you can inspect. Everything lands in your own GEORIZON tenant, in a browser, with no installation and no seat licence: colleagues, contractors and clients see what you decide to share, for as long as you decide. Indoor data from the VLX sits in the same viewer as your outdoor mobile mapping, oblique imagery and aerial LiDAR, so a facility and its surroundings are one continuous dataset instead of two systems that do not talk to each other.
