Leica Cyclone 6.0, CloudWorx 4.0 and TruView 2.0
Leica Geosystems has released its flagship point cloud software applications: Cyclone 6.0; CloudWorx 4.0; and TruView 2.0.
All applications now include intuitive, panoramic viewing of point clouds plus intuitive navigation of point clouds using “key plans” and scanner location icons. In both the software, opened views can be 360ºx360º panoramic views or 3D views. A panoramic view virtually places the user where the scanner was. Observing a scanned scene from that viewpoint is completely intuitive, while full 3D viewing lets users virtually fly around a scene to get unique perspectives. To easily navigate around a site, users can simply hop from one icon to another on the key plan, opening scan views as desired. Or users can click on scanner location icons visible within any opened view. Both of these intuitive navigation approaches can be used with Cyclone 6.0, CloudWorx 4.0 or TruView 2.0.
