Reality Capture Workshop

In this full-day workshop, you'll learn the equipment, techniques, and systems used to create accurate, highly detailed virtual assets from real-world environments and locations. You'll learn the technologies behind environmental scanning, as well as how to operate XGRIDS handheld scanners, process resulting scan data in LCC Studio, and finally how to view the results and collaborate with your team.
