From the beginning, SCENA® has approached spatial capture as more than a single tool or workflow. Our work has always required flexibility and the ability to capture spatial data with fidelity across a wide range of environments.
Early on, we invested in the NavVis MLX, which gave us a handheld tool capable of capturing detailed data inside complex interiors and confined areas as part of our LiDAR portfolio. This system is ideal for environments where adaptable movement and dense spatial data are both priorities.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Evolution of Our Capture Capabilities
As our projects grew in scale and complexity, SCENA continued to refine how we capture interior spatial data. In addition to the MLX, we continue to leverage the Matterport Pro3 cameras, which make up the largest portion of our capture inventory. These devices provide efficient LiDAR-based capture for a wide variety of environments and have become a cornerstone in our digital twin production workflow.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The NavVis MLX complements our existing mobile systems by giving us a handheld option that thrives in spaces where a mobile cart or wearable scanner may not be the best fit. Meanwhile, the Matterport Pro3 continues to serve as a versatile workhorse for clients needing high-resolution capture and a streamlined workflow for digital twin creation and spatial documentation.
Choosing the Right Tool for the Job
Each capture device in our toolkit has a role. The handheld system supports rapid, flexible scanning in transitional or tight areas, while the Matterport Pro3 cameras enable efficient documentation across varied building types. This allows SCENA to tailor our capture plan to the environment rather than forcing every space into a single approach.
SCENA evaluates capture technology based on how well it supports clients’ data needs now and into the future. Spatial data is used for planning, facilities management, digital twin initiatives, and collaboration among stakeholders. Our goal is to ensure that data captured today remains valuable as projects evolve.
Supporting Diverse Environments with Advanced Technology
SCENA works in public sector facilities, educational campuses, commercial spaces, and large interior environments where quality spatial data has long-term value. By investing in professional LiDAR capture technology like the NavVis MLX and maintaining a fleet of Matterport Pro3 cameras, we deliver the type of spatial datasets our clients expect and rely on.
This expanded capture arsenal reflects our commitment to adopting tools that support complex deliverables. As spatial data continues to play a larger role in how organizations understand and manage their environments, SCENA will continue to invest in the technology and workflows needed to support that future.
