	Leica BLK360 $18,500 + iPad + Tripod WGAN Forum discussions tagged: BLK360 ---- FAQs from the Matterport website ... ---- (Some) Frequently Asked Questions on the Matterport-BLK360 Integration (Source: Matterport) What is Matterport’s BLK360 integration? The Leica BLK360 is a LIDAR-based scanner. It is exceptional in its small size and ease of use. Matterport, in partnership with Leica, has enabled the BLK360 to work with our immersive 3D platform so that the BLK360’s versatile capture abilities can be seamlessly integrated with the Matterport capture workflow. How is the BLK360 different from Matterport’s Pro or Pro2 cameras? The Leica BLK360 offers these advantages: ✓ Exterior scanning, with full geometry-capture ✓ Ability to scan further, with a range of well over 100 feet (30 meters) ✓ Higher accuracy than Matterport devices (downloaded through the BLK360 app) Why would I want to use the BLK360 with Matterport? The BLK360 used alone can capture almost any kind of space, including both building exteriors and interiors. With Matterport, spaces can be viewed in immersive 3D or VR so that users can view them interactively while designing, building, managing or selling/leasing a space. Matterport Pro/Pro2 cameras can be used in the same project as the Leica BLK360. This makes it easy to scan smaller spaces quickly and obtain very high quality imagery. Scans from the two cameras are joined together seamlessly. How do you use the BLK360 with Matterport? The BLK360 can be used with the Matterport Capture app for iPad almost exactly as if it was a Matterport Pro/Pro2 Camera. Each time a scan is made with the BLK360, a square icon (rather than a circle for Pro/Pro2 camera scans) appears on the Minimap. You also have to set the HDR and Scan Density for the BLK360 when you scan. Read detailed instructions on how to scan. When should I use the Leica BLK360 and when should I use a Matterport Pro/Pro2 camera? The Pro/Pro2 cameras are best for capturing higher quality imagery, indoor use, and for scanning quickly. The BLK360 can be used for building exteriors or interiors and is also good for capturing tall and wide-open spaces. In addition, users can download dense/accurate point clouds from the BLK360 to other apps, such as Recap Pro. Learn how. Source: Matterport

	I am beyond excited and seeing what it is capable of doing. I'm hoping that I'll be able to inspire not only some of the MSPs that are curious, but inspire potential clients for both myself and others by what I capture I'm just staying mum incase the whole thing fails to work
