Sphere Features
With Sphere, users can:
- Close existing workflow gaps by enabling remote collaboration and project completion from anywhere in the world
- Eliminate additional site visits due to registration failure or incomplete scans
- Inform project stakeholders that a scan is complete and that modeling can begin, speeding job completion times yielding significant savings per project
At its core, Sphere is a cloud-based data management hub. And with FARO WebShare serving as the web viewer, users can explore and share captured 3D data and compare that data with the design as a CAD or BIM output.
Users will also have access to the following FARO customer support tools as part of its application offerings as a way to view and explore projects with stakeholders anywhere they reside: Knowledge Base (which provides technical product information), FARO Support (which provides customer support) and FARO Academy (which provides ongoing training and education).
Package Offerings
Stream Mobile App
For FARO Focus Laser Scanner users who wish to upload their scan data into Sphere, the FARO Stream mobile app works in conjunction with the Focus Laser Scanner to enable on-site pre-registration while providing added confidence on the completeness of data capture.
It is common for 3D measurement professionals today to register scan data back on an office computer, off-site. Now, users can perform pre-registration in the field, add annotations and instantly upload on-site data collection to FARO Sphere.
FARO Flatness Check App
The FARO Flatness Check app, the first augmented reality solution for Sphere, enables the immediate visualization of floor flatness and floor levelness while ensuring concrete pours are completed on schedule with improved quality of work and eliminated rework and waste.
Flatness Check works in conjunction with the Focus Premium Laser Scanner as well as the Focus M70, S70, S150 and S350 models, allowing users to document and analyze the floor flatness and floor levelness of any concrete slab and share that data in Sphere with additional project stakeholders.
Using an iPad with a FARO Focus scanner, the app assists foremen guiding field crews to identify out of tolerance areas within minutes and to fix those deviations while the concrete is still wet.
