I think a simple movie can be a powerful way to approach new clients and start a discussion (or often education) on laser scanning in a non-technical way. 3D Laser Mapping in the UK managed to write some software to convert trajectory information out of their mobile scanner to a camera path which they then used to render a perfect movie along the road - this was one of the more successful animations of mobile scan data I've seen, also Teccon in Belgium have done some good animation work with the output from an Optech Lynx.

I missed the conference but enjoyed all the feedback from those that went and shared their experiences via New Media: Twitter, Linked-in, Blogs, and such. I like the video and have downloaded the software to give it a try. I have produced quite a few videos about mobile lidar since we acquired our LYNX. The difficulty always seems to be lag time in the rendering of the point cloud data. With Cam Studio you can edit out the lag but it's a little tedious. Check out my videos on themobilemapper.blogspot.com or type eandelin into you-tube's search engine. Very Cool!
