# NavVis VLX Introduction

NavVis VLX is the industry-leading, wearable mobile mapping system that efficiently delivers comprehensive, highly detailed reality capture data to laser scanning professionals for complex sites, both indoor and outdoor.

- **Complete Coverage:** With a nearly unobstructed field of view, NavVis VLX delivers comprehensive coverage of both indoor and outdoor environments so you can scan more at scale.
- **Superb Accuracy:** For accuracy that exceeds industry standards, NavVis VLX is powered by precision SLAM technology that's entirely in a class of its own.
- **All-in-one, highly-detailed reality capture:** Comprehensively capture 3D measurements with two 32-layer Lidar sensors in combination with ground-breaking SLAM software to deliver industry-leading Point cloud quality for a wearable device. Four cameras positioned on top of the device take high-resolution (HDR), sharp images in every direction for a complete 360º image - all without the operator appearing in the field of view.
- **Live scanning feedback:** Monitor your scanning progress in real time with a built-in touchscreen interface to ensure complete coverage as you move.
- **Innovative folding design:**The unique hinged design folds up and fits into a protective case or backpack, so that a single operator can easily transport and set it up.
- **Seamless transportation:** With multiple methods of transporting the VLX, moving around and between sites has never been simpler. A protective, hard-shelled case on wheels enables air and rail travel, while a compact, sturdy backpack allows you to move to and from your site with ease. The backpack is currently only available in specific regions, please contact us for more details.
- **Geo-registration:**NavVis VLX takes your laser scanning and survey workflows to the next level. It’s fully compatible with standard tools in the field, and can capture control points in a local site coordinate system measured by both Total Stations and GNSS rovers. It also supports national and global coordinates for precise geo-registration and alignment of datasets.
