Reality Capture

The physical environment, recorded once — measurable forever.

01The Work

Existing conditions

Buildings, sites and interiors documented completely before design or works begin.

Heritage & interiors

Photorealistic, navigable records of spaces that cannot be re-visited or must not be altered.

Incident & condition records

A measurable snapshot of an environment at a moment in time.

02The Approach

Capture everything. Decide what matters later.

The discipline of reality capture is completeness: recording an environment densely enough that questions can be answered afterwards without returning to site. Handheld LiDAR with full-dome imagery captures geometry and appearance together, so the record is both measurable and recognisable.

Where the deliverable must be experienced—walked through by a stakeholder rather than measured by an engineer—3D Gaussian Splatting output produces photorealistic, navigable scenes from the same capture pass.

03The Workflow, Applied
01

Capture

Continuous capture through the environment — geometry and imagery in one pass.

02

Process

Registration, colourisation and 3DGS reconstruction.

03

Analyse

Measurement, annotation and extraction from the spatial record.

04

Deliver

Point clouds, meshes and navigable photorealistic scenes.
