TourPop Professional Handheld 3D Scanner for Point Cloud and Spatial Documentation

Portable Spatial Capture for Real-World Documentation

TourPop is a handheld spatial capture system designed to record real-world environments and convert them into usable digital data.

Using SLAM technology, TourPop captures spatial geometry while the operator moves through the environment. The system builds its trajectory during scanning, allowing spaces to be recorded without placing external markers in advance.

The captured data can be processed into measurable point clouds. When used with a compatible panoramic camera, the same project can also generate panoramic images and photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) models.

TourPop is designed for users who need a portable way to document, visualise and digitally preserve real spaces without relying on a large or fixed scanning setup.

Capture Real Spaces as Spatial Data

Documenting an existing environment often requires more than photographs.

Images can show what a space looks like, but they do not provide the same spatial information as a 3D dataset.

TourPop captures the geometry of the surrounding environment while the operator moves through the site. The resulting point cloud provides a digital representation of the captured space that can be reviewed, measured and used for further spatial analysis.

Typical environments include:

• Interior spaces
• Commercial properties
• Industrial facilities
• Equipment environments
• Exhibition spaces
• Cultural and heritage sites
• Structures
• Open and selected outdoor areas

The system is suitable for projects where a spatial record of the environment is required for documentation, review or digital preservation.

SLAM-Based Scanning Without External Markers

TourPop uses SLAM technology to build its trajectory during data collection.

The operator moves naturally through the environment while the system records spatial information. External markers do not need to be installed before scanning.

This can simplify field deployment, particularly in locations where equipment needs to be set up and packed away quickly.

The handheld workflow is useful for users working across multiple locations or in environments where carrying larger scanning systems may be inconvenient.

Measurable Point Cloud Data

Point cloud data is one of the main outputs of the TourPop workflow.

The point cloud represents the spatial structure of the captured environment and can be used for:

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

The point cloud provides a digital record that can be reviewed after the field capture has been completed, helping project teams retain more information about the environment than conventional photographs alone.

Combine Spatial Capture with Visual Documentation

In many projects, geometry alone does not provide the complete picture.

Users may also need visual information that shows the appearance and context of the environment at the time of capture.

When TourPop is used with a compatible panoramic camera, visual data can be collected as part of the same project.

The processed outputs can include:

• Coloured Point Clouds
• Panoramic Images
• Photorealistic 3DGS Models

Visual information can be used to add colour to the captured point cloud, making the spatial data easier to interpret during review.

Panoramic images provide a visual record of the site and can be used for remote review, documentation and project presentation.

TourPop also supports the creation of photorealistic 3D Gaussian Splatting models.

A 3DGS model provides an immersive digital representation of a real environment and can be used for:

• Digital twin visualisation
• Virtual walkthroughs
• Immersive online presentations
• Spatial storytelling
• Film and creative content
• Game environments
• VR and AR applications
• AI simulation workflows

This allows a single field capture to support both measurable spatial documentation and visually immersive presentation.

Review Scan Coverage While on Site

Returning to a location because part of the environment was missed can add time and cost to a project.

TourPop supports real-time scan monitoring through a smartphone connected to the system's magnetic mount.

The operator can follow scanning progress during data collection and check whether the required areas have been covered before leaving the site.

This is particularly useful when capturing:

• Large interior spaces
• Multi-room environments
• Industrial facilities
• Commercial properties
• Exhibition areas
• Locations that are difficult to revisit

Real-time monitoring provides a more controlled workflow during field capture.

Designed for Mobile Field Work

TourPop is designed as a portable system for users who need to capture environments in different locations.

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

Under normal room-temperature conditions, the system provides up to three hours of operating time.

TourPop is specified for operation within a temperature range of −20°C to +50°C.

The compact design makes it suitable for mobile capture workflows where portability is an important consideration.

Compatible Panoramic Camera Workflow

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

The camera records visual data during the capture process, while TourPop records spatial information.

The panoramic camera is not included with the standard TourPop main unit unless otherwise specified in the selected package.

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

Process Captured Data with SLAM GO POST Pro

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

The software is used to process, review and manage the collected spatial and visual data.

Key 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 use in compatible third-party workflows.

This provides flexibility for users who need to continue processing or working with captured data in other software environments.

A Portable Workflow for Spatial Digitisation

TourPop provides a practical way to capture real-world spaces and convert them into reusable digital assets.

The system combines SLAM-based spatial capture with optional visual data collection, allowing users to create measurable point clouds, panoramic imagery and immersive 3DGS models from the same project.

For spatial documentation, industrial environments, commercial spaces, digital twin projects and immersive 3D applications, TourPop offers a portable workflow from on-site capture to processed digital content.
