A Powerful Tool for Visualizing 3D Laser Scan Data

Westcon Laser Portal (WLP) is a proprietary web-based platform designed to visualize data captured by 3D laser scanners.

Using photorealistic panoramic images, WLP allows users to explore scanned environments directly in a standard web browser or on mobile devices such as iPhones and iPads.

With intuitive tools, users can:

• Zoom, pan, and navigate the scanned environment
• Mark and comment on specific areas or objects
• Measure distances and coordinates with an accuracy of 2-3 mm
• Export measurements and share them online
• Break down measurements into X, Y, and Z coordinates

Key Features and Possibilities:

• View 3D laser scans directly in a browser or on mobile devices
• Access accurate 3D as-built models
• Explore full-color photorealistic images
• Mark and annotate areas and objects
• Measure distances and coordinates with millimeter precision
• Easily share information with colleagues and stakeholders
• Import CAD models for comparison and integration
• Verify design changes and ensure quality
• Detect and prevent clashes (clash control)
• Save time and reduce costs
• All within a user-friendly, self-explanatory interface

Cultural Heritage Documentation & Visualization
‍

We offer advanced solutions for documenting and visualizing cultural heritage sites, archaeological environments, and historical architecture.

Our technology enables the creation of highly accurate digital representations of historical buildings and environments. A prime example is www.olavskirken.no, where we collaborated with a multidisciplinary team including theologians, church administrators, cultural and historical mediators, archaeologists, tourism developers, and designers. The result is a rich, interactive experience that showcases the potential of digital heritage preservation.

Key Benefits:

• ‍Photorealistic Visualization – Using laser scanning and HDR photography, we recreate environments with stunning detail.‍
• Point Cloud Animation – For Avaldsnes Church(Olavskirken), we produced a unique animation using only point cloud data—no video cameras involved. The animation lets you “fly” through approximately 3 billion laser points captured from over 70 positions inside and outside the church.
• ‍Colorized Laser Data – HDR still photography is used tocolorize the point cloud, enhancing realism and spatial understanding.‍
• Multidisciplinary Collaboration – Our projects bring together experts from various fields to ensure historical accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and engaging presentation.‍
• Accessible Online Platforms – The final visualizations are made available through user-friendly web portals, accessible on desktop and mobile devices.
