The mobile system combines localization, imagery, geometry and 3DGS, with cloud workflows through FARO Sphere XG.
Manifold Tech Limited, a spatial intelligence technology company, announced a collaboration with FARO INSIGHT, an AMETEK, Inc. business. The collaboration has produced Rovi i.1, a mobile reality capture system for field use.
Rovi i.1 adds a mobile option to FARO INSIGHT’s reality capture portfolio. It combines real-time localization, geometry, imagery and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to create spatial datasets and 3D environments through a single field workflow.
Developed through engineering work between the two companies, Rovi i.1 connects to the FARO Sphere XG Digital Reality Platform for cloud-based processing, data management, visualization and collaboration.
From field capture to digital applications
The Capture → Cloud → Application workflow converts field data into point clouds, 3D environments, measurements and digital-twin assets. These outputs can be used with existing software and industry-specific processes.
Potential applications include site documentation and construction progress tracking in architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AEC&O), asset records and inspections for industrial facilities and infrastructure, scene documentation for public safety and digital preservation for cultural heritage. The spatial and visual data can also support immersive 3D experiences and spatial computing.
Manifold Tech Limited is also applying its spatial sensing and reconstruction technologies to robotics and autonomous systems.
