Leica Geosystems, a subsidiary of Hexagon, has developed Leica BLK2GO PULSE, its first person laser scanner, which combines LiDAR sensor technology with the original Leica BLK2GO shape. The technology will be released in early 2024.

The scanner provides users with a fast, simple, and intuitive first person scanning method that can be controlled through a smartphone and provides real-time full color 3D point clouds on site.

BLK2GO PULSE was built in collaboration with Sony Semiconductor Solutions, combining Sony's advanced Time of Flight (ToF) image sensor with Leica measurement system's GrandSLAM technology to produce a dual ToF handheld scanner.

This product is designed specifically for indoor applications, such as creating 3D digital twins and 2D floor plans. It includes first person scanning function and instant data availability, allowing users to immediately download, view, and share on-site color 3D point clouds and images. Then, the scan can be uploaded to Reality Cloud Studio, which is a cloud application from Hexagon for visualizing, collaborating, and storing real-world captured data.
