NavVis VLX 2
Ready for anything
NavVis VLX 2 is the industry-trusted wearable mobile mapping system designed for laser scanning professionals that require fast, accurate, and affordable reality capture of the built environment.
The hardware makes it even better
Dynamic reality capture
Capture 3D measurements with two 16-layer lidar sensors in combination with industry-trusted SLAM software to deliver survey-grade point cloud quality. Four cameras positioned on top of the device take high resolution images in every direction for complete 360º capture — all without the operator appearing in the field of view.
Live scanning feedback
Monitor your scanning progress in real time with a built-in touchscreen interface to ensure complete coverage as you move.
Precision meets ergonomics
A first-of-its-kind wearable device which enables operators to comfortably scan at the speed of walking. The forward-facing design allows for targeted scanning, together with a built-in screen for optimal viewing.

Geo-registration
NavVis VLX 2 is fully compatible with standard tools in the field. It can capture control points in a local site coordinate system measured by both Total Stations and GNSS rovers, and also supports national and global coordinates for precise geo-registration and alignment of datasets.
Innovative folding design
The unique hinged design folds up and fits into a protective case or backpack, so that a single operator can easily transport and set up.
Seamless transportation
With multiple methods of transporting NavVis VLX 2, moving around and between sites has never been simpler. A protective, hard-shelled case on wheels enables air and rail travel, while a compact, sturdy backpack allows you to move to and from your site with ease.
*Backpack is currently only available in Europe.
Versatile scanning
Flexibility and speed when you need it most. As an integral part of your hybrid scanning workflow, NavVis VLX 2 can reliably tackle anything from complex indoor spaces to construction sites.
High accuracy
For accuracy that efficiently meets your needs and more.
Exceptional data quality
Point cloud surface reconstruction preserves details while removing noise for more efficient use in 2D drawings and 3D models.
Highly detailed point clouds include color and realistic texturing.
Objects that move through the scan are automatically detected and removed from point clouds during post-processing, resulting in less manual work.
Robust SLAM algorithms can accurately capture the entire building including the facade and surroundings.
Up to 10 times faster than a terrestrial laser scanner

Ready for today and tomorrow
With regular software updates to the SLAM algorithm, NavVis VLX 2nd generation is optimized for outdoor environments and will continue to evolve long into the future. It also boasts IP42 for resistance against solid objects larger than 1 mm and vertically dripping water, and a carbon-fiber frame that's super strong and reduces overall weight.
Other features common to all NavVis VLX devices (both 1st and 2nd generation):
- A more intuitive mapping experience: Edit a control point live during a mapping session. Benefit from multi-floor support which displays a live quality map that fades in and out when the operator changes floors. Use the user interface to pan and zoom captured data while you map. Plus, auto recognition of belt-hook height and improved battery status indication and safe shutdown.
- Panoramas: Now with vignetting compensation, HDR imaging for improved panorama quality, and auto white-balancing for improved coloration (especially outdoors)
- Point cloud image quality: When scanning in poor light conditions, intensity and RGB coloration will step in to compensate. Also benefit from optimized coloration, and improvements to the accuracy of NavVis VLX point clouds as high as 30%.
