## Environment

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** A warning is displayed if the device was stored in a cold environment and requires extra time to reach operating temperature.
> 
> In temperatures above 35 °C, scanning time might be limited to prevent the device from overheating. A warning is displayed if the device gets too hot. In this case, end your scanning, turn off the device, and let it cool down in a cool environment before you start a new scan.
> 
> The NavVis VLX guarantees constant data quality over a wide temperature range.

A Point Cloud is as a collection of data points in space that typically represent the external surface of an object or environment. Point clouds are used in various applications, including 3D scanning and mapping, and can be visualized and manipulated using Navvis IVION. You can perform actions such as panning, orbiting, cleaning up noise, cropping, and downloading data in formats like .e57 or .ply. The resolution of point clouds processed with NavVis Software achieves a minimum detail of 5mm, indicating the precision of the spatial data points.
