Creating a digital representation of a physical environment often requires both spatial and visual information.

Spatial data helps describe the geometry and structure of a location, while visual data records its appearance and context.

TourPop brings these elements together within a single capture workflow.

During scanning, the system records spatial information and builds its trajectory using SLAM technology. When used with a compatible panoramic camera, visual data can also be captured for point cloud colourisation, panoramic image generation and 3DGS model creation.

After processing, the same project can provide several types of digital output:

• Point clouds for measurement, spatial review and documentation
• Panoramic images for visual records and remote site review
• Photorealistic 3DGS models for immersive visualisation and interactive digital experiences

These outputs can be used individually or combined as part of a broader spatial digitisation or digital twin project.

TourPop is designed to capture spatial information while the operator moves naturally through the environment.

The SLAM system continuously calculates the scanning trajectory during data collection, allowing the space to be captured without installing external markers in advance.

This reduces preparation time and makes the system easier to deploy in locations where a conventional scanning setup may be inconvenient.

Typical capture environments include:

• Building interiors
• Commercial properties
• Hotels and hospitality venues
• Exhibition spaces
• Industrial facilities
• Cultural and heritage sites
• Public spaces
• Selected outdoor environments

The handheld format also makes TourPop suitable for users who need to capture multiple locations as part of their daily workflow.

Different projects require different ways of presenting and using spatial information.

A facility manager may need a spatial record of an environment. A hotel may require immersive content for online presentation. A digital twin project may require both measurable spatial data and a realistic visual representation.

TourPop is designed to support these requirements from the same field capture project.

The point cloud provides a digital representation of the spatial structure of the captured environment.

It can be used for:

• Spatial measurements
• Existing-condition documentation
• Site review
• Layout analysis
• Facility documentation
• Digital archives
• Digital twin data preparation

Point cloud data allows users to retain a measurable spatial record of the environment after field capture has been completed.

Panoramic images provide a visual record of the captured site.

They can be used for remote review, project documentation, site presentation and visual reference.

For many projects, panoramic imagery provides useful context alongside point cloud data by recording the appearance of the environment at the time of capture.

TourPop supports the creation of photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting models when used with a compatible panoramic camera.

A 3DGS model provides an immersive digital representation of a real environment.

This type of output can be used for:

• Digital twin visualisation
• Virtual walkthroughs
• Immersive online presentations
• Interactive spatial experiences
• Film and creative production
• VR and AR applications
• Game and virtual environment development
• AI simulation workflows

By combining spatial capture with visual reconstruction, the same project can support both technical documentation and immersive presentation.

TourPop is designed for mobile reality capture workflows.

The main unit weighs approximately 700 g without a panoramic camera, allowing it to be carried and operated by hand.

A smartphone can be attached to the integrated magnetic mount to monitor scanning progress during data collection.

Under normal room-temperature conditions, TourPop provides up to three hours of operating time and is designed to operate within a temperature range of −20°C to +50°C.

Its compact format makes it suitable for users who need to move between different locations or capture environments where a larger scanning setup may be less convenient.

Checking scan coverage during fieldwork can help identify areas that may require additional capture before leaving the site.

TourPop supports real-time monitoring through a connected smartphone and mobile application.

The operator can review scanning progress while moving through the environment and check whether the required areas have been covered.

This can be particularly useful when documenting:

• Large interior spaces
• Multi-room environments
• Industrial facilities
• Commercial properties
• Hotels and hospitality venues
• Exhibition spaces
• Locations that may be difficult to revisit

Real-time monitoring provides additional control over the capture process and helps users review project coverage while still on site.

TourPop can be used with selected compatible panoramic cameras to collect the visual data required for coloured point clouds, panoramic images and photorealistic 3DGS models.

During the project, TourPop captures spatial information while the panoramic camera records visual data.

The visual information is then used during post-processing to generate different project outputs.

The panoramic camera is not included with the standard TourPop main unit unless specified as part of a selected package.

TourPop supports selected compatible panoramic cameras, including applicable models from DJI OSMO and Insta360.

TourPop includes SLAM GO POST Pro software for processing and managing captured projects on a computer.

The software is designed to convert field data into usable spatial and visual outputs.

Supported functions include:

• Point cloud generation
• Photorealistic 3DGS model creation
• Panoramic image stitching
• Project visualisation and review
• Measurements
• Annotations
• Batch processing
• Project management
• Multi-pass data merging

The software also supports the export of frames, pose parameters and COLMAP data for compatible third-party processing workflows.

This gives users flexibility to work with captured spatial and visual data according to the requirements of their own projects.

• Portable handheld reality capture system
• SLAM-based spatial capture
• No external markers required before scanning
• Measurable point cloud generation
• Panoramic image generation with a compatible camera
• Photorealistic 3DGS model generation with a compatible camera
• Real-time scan progress monitoring
• Approximately 700 g without a camera
• Up to three hours of operating time at room temperature
• Operating temperature from −20°C to +50°C
• Measurement and annotation tools
• Multi-pass data merging
• Project visualisation and management
• Frame, pose parameter and COLMAP data export
• SLAM GO POST Pro software included

TourPop provides a portable workflow for capturing real environments and converting them into reusable digital assets.

From measurable point clouds and panoramic imagery to immersive 3DGS models, the system allows the same physical environment to be documented, reviewed and presented in different ways.

For organisations working with spatial documentation, digital twins, immersive visualisation, facility digitisation and interactive 3D content, TourPop provides a compact workflow from field capture to processed spatial and visual data.
