NavVis VLX 3 Wearable Mobile Mapping System

The NavVis VLX 3 is an industry-leading wearable mobile mapping and reality capture system engineered for comprehensive 3D scanning of complex indoor and outdoor environments. Powered by advanced SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology and dual 32-layer LiDAR sensors, the VLX 3 delivers high-density, survey-grade point cloud data with complete 360° coverage while the operator moves at walking speed — eliminating the need for static tripod scanning and dramatically accelerating capture workflows.

Designed for professionals who require detailed spatial data for large, technically complex sites, the NavVis VLX 3 combines precision reality capture with ergonomic, forward-facing scanning and real-time feedback via a built-in touchscreen. Four high-resolution cameras capture sharp imagery in every direction, providing immersive 360° panoramic context alongside dense LiDAR point clouds — all without the operator appearing in the field of view.

Rugged yet wearable, the VLX 3 features hot-swappable batteries, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and portable 1 TB SSD storage, enabling extended field operations and seamless data transfer. The system supports standard geo-registration workflows, including control points captured by total stations and GNSS rovers, and aligns datasets to both local and global coordinate systems for precise survey integration.
