04Overview

Real-time scanning and modelling, in one device.

The PortalCam approaches capture from the imaging side: a 96-channel LiDAR at 856,000 points per second fused with a four-camera array, engineered specifically for 3D Gaussian Splatting output. The result is not a point cloud that resembles a place—it is a photorealistic, navigable environment.

For real-estate documentation, film location scouting, heritage interiors and any brief where the deliverable must be experienced rather than merely measured, the PortalCam produces spatial content directly, processed through the LCC pipeline.
