XGRIDS PortalCam

A handheld spatial scanner for capturing real-world spaces as photorealistic 3D models using 3D Gaussian Splatting technology. It combines LiDAR, a four-camera system, an IMU, and real-time SLAM processing, automatically building a textured 3D model as the user walks through the space.

It is suitable for capturing objects and large areas—from individual items to entire castles or historic city centres—both indoors and outdoors, and can even operate in the dark. The resulting lightweight models, saved in the LCC format, are suitable for VR/AR applications, virtual tours, and export to Unreal Engine or Unity. Processing is carried out in XGRIDS LCC Studio.

This equipment was made possible through a donation from La Fondation pour la Formation Hôtelière (www.lafondation.org).
