Problem
Capturing high‑resolution 3D and 2D spatial data traditionally requires bulky, stationary laser scanners and complex workflows, limiting flexibility for field teams and slowing project turnaround. Integrating data from multiple sensors and sharing point clouds among collaborators also adds technical overhead.
Solution
Omniasphere’s Janus platform delivers a portable, 360° laser scanning system that can be mounted on vehicles, drones, boats, or operated handheld, enabling mobile mapping in diverse environments. The hardware combines Swiss‑grade laser precision with Italian‑focused user experience, supporting multiple laser scanners, GNSS, IMU, and high‑resolution cameras. Captured data are processed through Janus Cloud, a web‑based service that provides tools for visualization, measurement, annotation, and VR collaboration, while supporting common point‑cloud formats and automatic object detection. A pay‑per‑use software license and hot‑swappable batteries further simplify deployment and cost management for varied project scales.
Target Audience
Primary customers are surveying firms, construction and infrastructure engineers, and GIS professionals who need fast, accurate mobile mapping and collaborative point‑cloud workflows across terrestrial, aerial, and marine projects.
