FARO Technologies, a global leader in 4D digital reality solutions, announces the release of Hybrid Reality Capture™, powered by Flash™ technology. It is the first solution of its kind to provide faster scanning for large-scale projects in architecture, engineering, construction, and public safety areas.

Hybrid Reality Capture is the latest scanning mode for Focus Premium laser scanner users. It combines the accuracy of a static 3D laser scanner with the speed of a panoramic camera (FARO PanoCam). The unique combination of quick scan with colorful 360° images allows you to do two weeks of work in just one week! Improving scanning speed by 100% means customers can complete projects faster without increasing costs.

“Hybrid Reality Capture is an innovation that combines the best of both worlds. It will improve productivity on the ground and deliver the most advanced colored results at a very affordable price,” said FARO President and CEO Michael Burger. “Industries that have always had to choose between fast or accurate 3D data mining have been looking forward to this hybrid solution, and we’re excited to offer it to our customers.”

Flash technology will enable more frequent and faster data capture, requiring only 30 seconds per scan. Thanks to the patented smart scaling algorithms, the result includes all the collected points with images that look more expressive than scanning the same resolution with traditional methods. The solution will be available as an additional subscription in the Stream mobile app.
