faro scene workstations
Faro SCENE processes and manages scan data taken on-site from handheld or terrestrial devices. For example, when surveying outdoor spaces for public development, civil engineers can use SCENE with a Faro-brand or third-party scanner to generate full-color, high-quality data in real time. SCENE utilizes on-site registration, automatic object recognition, scan registration, and automated target less and target-based scan positioning to create vivid 3D visualizations best supported by a purpose-built BOXX APEXX workstation. Another acclaimed feature of SCENE is the virtual reality view. Once civil engineers have gathered the scan data, they can experience it with VR, providing the project with a whole new level of insight.
Point Cloud
SCENE is extremely useful for civil engineers because you can export impressive 3D visualizations into workable CAD formats and various point clouds. SCENE is also effective for documentation, as well as measurement taking and mapping, but you need CAD and other BIM software to manipulate that data to adjust geometry if, for example, working on an infrastructure renovation project. Having richly detailed scans to work from is critical, but transferring point cloud data from SCENE to another application requires an optimized BOXX APEXX workstation.
The optimal hardware configurations for working with dense point clouds need high CPU clock speeds and a substantial number of processor cores, so the ideal BOXX Faro SCENE workstations include the APEXX S3 featuring an eight-core, Intel® Core™ i7 (or i9) performance tuned to 5.2GHz, the 16-core AMD Ryzen™ 500 series APEXX A3, and the 18-core APEXX X3 with an Intel® Core™ X-series processor. Contact one of our SCENE performance specialists to custom-configure your ideal workstation.
VR
Using Oculus Rift or HTC Vive glasses, you can explore and evaluate remote on-site situations. With VR, virtually walk through point cloud data, which allows for an unparalleled, immersive experience. However, VR does place a high demand on computing hardware, so you need to make sure your solution stacks up. For this workflow, the BOXX Faro SCENE recommended hardware is the APEXX W4L equipped with a 12-core Intel® Xeon® W processor and configurable up to four NVIDIA RTX™ GPUs.

On the Go
Because scan data capture happens in the field, you need a mobile workstation optimized for Faro SCENE that can replicate desktop power and performance on-the-go. Considering all the hardware needs for SCENE (high speed, high core count, large amount of storage), GoBOXX MXL provides essential computing power. With an eight-core, desktop-class Intel® Core™ i7, NVIDIA GeForce graphics, 64GB of storage, and VR functionality, you’ll maximize your use of SCENE. Another recommended laptop is the GoBOXX SLM. Capable of handling large data sets, GoBOXX SLM is ultra-thin and light, featuring a fast Intel® Core™ i7 CPU and professional NVIDIA RTX™ graphics.
