Introduction

In the rapidly evolving world of 3D content creation, a new player has emerged with the launch of XGRIDS' PortalCam. Developed by Sekido Co., a leading company in Japan for drone sales and technology support, the PortalCam is designed to streamline the process of creating stunning 3D models using groundbreaking technology, known as 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). This innovative device allows users to generate high-quality 3D models with unprecedented ease, making it a game-changer for various industries including real estate, film production, VFX, gaming, cultural heritage preservation, VR/AR, and personal archiving.

What is XGRIDS PortalCam?

The PortalCam is a portable 3D scanner equipped with cutting-edge technology, including a LiDAR sensor and four high-performance cameras. It utilizes Lixel CyberColor, a proprietary technology developed by XGRIDS, to implement a multi-SLAM algorithm combining LiDAR SLAM and Visual SLAM. This allows the device to create incredibly detailed and realistic 3D models even in complex structures and vast spaces with great stability.

Key Features of XGRIDS PortalCam

1. High-Resolution Front Cameras:
The PortalCam boasts two high-resolution cameras that capture fine details, making it suitable for scanning anything from small objects to entire buildings and urban scales.

2. Ultra-Light and Portable Design:
Weighing less than 900 grams, the PortalCam offers an all-in-one design that makes it easy to operate by hand. It is versatile enough to be used in various settings, whether indoors or outdoors.

3. Stable Scanning Performance:
Thanks to the combination of the LiDAR sensor, high-performance cameras, and its unique multi-SLAM technology, the PortalCam can perform reliably under challenging conditions such as low-light environments, reflective materials, high-contrast scenarios, and structures with few prominent features.

4. Instant Model Utilization and Sharing:
Users can easily import the generated 3DGS models to popular platforms such as Unreal Engine, Unity, and various VR platforms through an SDK. Furthermore, built-in cloud sharing functionality allows for immediate sharing among stakeholders.
