Reality Capture Licenses

[Pit Gebeyaw]

Incase you may switch your license to a different computer (after having checked in your MY account / licenses), uninstall RC from the old computer and install, run and activate it on the new computer.

Does this mean I can uninstall/deactivate and reinstall/activate on the laptop when I need to do tests according to my work schedule ? Several pieces of software I currently use do this. allowing me to go to their web site deactivate my license then activate it from whatever machine I need to use ( huge help when travelling between home and office ).

Not being able to do testing in the field because my license is stuck on my desktop is kind of a big deal. and having to buy a second license for my laptop while my desktop is burning through a 7 day license period unused is just silly.

Anyways, you can use demo version on the field on your laptop just to check if you have all data using alignment, incremental capture, and inspect tool. And then align again and compute final model on your promo version at home.

But as frustrating as the current license system is, if it is effective against piracy, then you cannot really blame the developers from wanting to use it. Especially when the software is very good. They need protection to their livelihood!

So, what is Reality Mapping? In simple terms, it is the process of integrating real-world data into a digital map or virtual reality environment. This can include anything from satellite imagery and aerial photographs, lidar to 3D models, and sensor data. The goal is to create a more comprehensive view of our surroundings and enable us to make better-informed decisions. It is about bringing reality capture and GIS together, with an emphasis on geospatial accuracy. A couple of common uses of reality mapping is to create a digital twin of a city, visualize proposed developments and infrastructure projects, or emergency responder to quickly assess the situation on the ground.

All the products offered in ArcGIS Reality are powered by the same engine, known as the ArcGIS Reality Engine. You can choose which ArcGIS Reality products best suit your needs and the extent of your project.

When it comes to reality mapping by using drone imagery, there are two options available. ArcGIS Drone2Map is a desktop reality mapping product specifically designed for drone imagery. Alternatively, Site Scan for ArcGIS is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product that utilizes the cloud to optimize reality mapping with drone imagery.

For reality mapping on a larger scale, such as at a city or country-wide level, there are two options to consider. ArcGIS Reality for ArcGIS Pro, an extension to ArcGIS Pro, can fulfill this need. Additionally, ArcGIS Reality Studio, a standalone desktop application, is also available.

ArcGIS Drone2Map and Site Scan for ArcGIS are solutions focused on drone mapping for sites with a relatively small extent. You can use Drone2Map when you have a small drone team, and Site Scan is a SaaS product designed to support larger drone programs conducting lots of flights and managed in the cloud.

ArcGIS Drone2Map Standard license is included in Esri Education Institutional agreement and ArcGIS for Schools. With the ArcGIS Drone2Map Standard, you can create 2D product outputs such as true Orthomosaics, DEM, DSM, and DTM. If you need to create 3D reality mapping outputs such as point clouds or textured meshes, you can use ArcGIS Drone2Map Advanced license, which is available with added cost (education pricing).

Another option is to leverage cloud and optimize your drone reality mapping by using Site Scan for ArcGIS, which is SaaS solution that host and process all your drone mapping in the cloud. Site Scan for ArcGIS is available with added cost (education pricing).

These products are designed for large-area scale reality mapping production involving variety of sensors and aerial imagery captured with metric cameras. At the time this blog is posted, ArcGIS Reality studio and ArcGIS Reality for ArcGIS Pro are available only with commercial pricing. We are currently evaluating the possibility of offering reduced pricing for Education.

As the market leader in reality capture software, Leica Geosystems has pioneered products that enable users to capture, prepare, manage and analyse reality capture data efficiently and professionally. From the moment you begin capturing 3D data to 3D model creation, analysis, and collaboration with clients, Leica Geosystems software seamlessly empowers users at all workflow stages.

Prepare point cloud data in the field, conduct final registration, and publish with Leica Geosystems reality capture software. Leica Cyclone REGISTER 360 PLUS connects to your sensor and Cyclone FIELD 360 so you can stream data and take fast and full advantage of field work. Publish data to industry standard formats, our internal LGS format, or Leica Cyclone ENTERPRISE.

Leica Geosystems offers data management software to meet the needs of any project. LGS files store points, images, GeoTags, measurements, markups, models, and more and can be used in analysis and deliverable creation products. For enterprise-level teams, Leica Cyclone ENTERPRISE serves as a single source of truth deployed locally or in the cloud for worldwide collaboration.

With Leica Geosystems analysis software, data goes from points and images to functional deliverables that enable clients to make data-driven decisions. Produce your deliverables directly in a CAD package with Leica CloudWorx, use Leica Cyclone 3DR for all-in-one modelling and analysis, or work with an industry-specific package like Leica Map360 for forensic investigations.

Leica Geosystems offers a collection of exclusively developed software leveraging JetStream technology to enable smart, publish-once workflows. Powered by JetStream products support simple, integrated workflows, delivering instant visualisations and full data access for in-field applications, automated BIM extractions, mesh models, and more.

Reality Cloud Studio, powered by HxDR, is Hexagon's cloud application for reality capture data visualisation, collaboration, and storage. It is compatible with all Hexagon software and directly interfaces with Leica Geosystems hardware and software. Upload your own data into Reality Cloud Studio for automated meshing and registration, immersive visualisations and virtual tours, collaboration among stakeholders, and secure data storage.

Hollywood, get ready to make holograms: Metastage, a new studio for volumetric video capture for virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and holographic experiences, opened its doors at Culver Studios in Culver City, Calif., on Tuesday.

The heart of the operation is the capture stage itself, which measures 35 feet in diameter, capable of capturing a space of up to 10 feet in diameter volumetrically. The stage is equipped with 106 cameras (53 RGB and 53 infrared) future-proofed with 12 megapixel sensors, even though the software currently only accommodates 4 megapixels.

The first round of projects booked into Metastage include an AR activation by a major newspaper publisher and an immersive documentary by Springbok Entertainment capturing a performance by a ballerina living with terminal cancer.

Tap into the power of unlimited streaming to visualize your reality capture data through your web browser or CloudWorx plugins for CAD tools, and Cyclone 3DR for in-depth analysis and creation of deliverables.
