The link between scanner and software

The Cyclone FIELD 360 app is an element of the Leica RTC360 3D reality capture solution. The app links the acquisition of 3D data via a RTC360 laser scanner in the field with office-based data storage via Cyclone REGISTER 360 post- processing software. Users may automatically gather, save and view scan and image data through a graphical user interface that simplifies the visualisation of point clouds. As a result, the system provides a positive user experience in the field of 3D reality capture even to inexperienced users.

“We are honoured to be recognised with a prestigious UX Design Award, and it speaks to the dedication our team showed in developing the app to best support our customers,” said Gerhard Walter, product manager for Cyclone FIELD360. “The Cyclone FIELD 360 app was developed to ensure users could easily and efficiently capture and work with their laser scanning data no matter their skill level.“

“Leica Cyclone Field offers the possibility to check and supplement 3D images directly in the field,” said Toni Steimle, UX Director & Head of Site Ergosign Zürich. “The focus was on direct and natural manipulation, which is self-explanatory and makes full use of the new possibilities of interaction supported by gestures. Even sophisticated interaction is thus easily accessible.
