FLIGHTS Partners with Manifold Tech to Present MindPalace Pocket2

In a significant partnership aimed at revolutionizing the construction and surveying industries, FLIGHTS Corporation has teamed up with advanced sensor manufacturer, Manifold Tech Limited. This collaboration marks the introduction of the latest mobile laser scanner, MindPalace Pocket2, which will be showcased for the first time at the CSPI-EXPO 2025. This exhibition will take place from June 18 to June 21, at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.

A New Era of Precision in Surveying

With a commitment to pushing the digitalization of surveying and construction sites, FLIGHTS has positioned itself at the forefront of innovative technology solutions. The newly established partnership grants FLIGHTS exclusive rights to market the MindPalace Pocket2 in Japan, a device designed to meet the growing demands for high-precision point cloud data amidst an evolving landscape of user needs.

FLIGHTS has previously launched the FLIGHTS SCAN series, including unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-mounted scanners and handheld laser scanners. The MindPalace Pocket2 stands as a testament to the continuous evolution in laser scanning technology, promising unmatched quality in color representation and 3D mapping accuracy.

What to Expect at CSPI-EXPO 2025

At booth number 13-76, located near the main entrance of Hall 4, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with the MindPalace Pocket2 directly. The scanning capabilities are not limited to handheld operations; the device can seamlessly integrate with various platforms, making it versatile for different environments.

This year’s CSPI-EXPO is unique; not only has it been extended to four days, but it also invites families to experience the ease of creating three-dimensional spaces through hands-on demonstrations.

Technical Advancements of the MindPalace Pocket2

The MindPalace Pocket2 features six specialized cameras, enabling real-time data collection and delivery of accurate 3D models:

• - Three 2MP Vision Cameras for high-precision SLAM operations, working in tandem with LiDAR technology to ensure stability and accuracy even in challenging environments.
• - Two 50MP Side Cameras for generating high-resolution panorama images, capable of producing quality 3D Gaussian splatting, although these features will not be included in the development model showcased at the event.
• - One 50MP Front Camera specifically designed for detailed captures, providing lifelike imagery that integrates into spatial mapping results.

Future Applications Beyond Surveying

FLIGHTS plans to leverage the MindPalace Pocket2's capabilities beyond traditional surveying fields, proposing innovative solutions across various industries. Furthermore, the company will introduce optional services enhancing the existing features of its FLIGHTS SCAN HANDY products at the expo.

Both FLIGHTS and Manifold Tech are excited about the potential applications of the Pocket2, especially in fields requiring digital twin technology, such as construction and public safety. Fan Yang, COO of Manifold Tech, expressed great enthusiasm regarding the partnership, recognizing Japan as a leader in digital twin technologies across multiple sectors.
