Q&A with BLK2FLY Product Manager Pascal Strupler.
How do I control the BLK2FLY?
The BLK2FLY is as simple to use as possible and relies on app-based controls. You unfold the device, press the power button, and control everything remotely within the BLK2FLY Live app, which connects through WLAN and LTE. You can plan your projects within the app, and the BLK2FLY will autonomously fly, scan, and complete its mission. You can also get a 2D or 3D view of all that the BLK2FLY captures while in the air and monitor or change the BLK2FLY flight path in real-time. If needed or preferred, you can pilot the device manually using virtual joysticks, an essential safety feature that always keeps you in control.
What features are in the BLK2FLY Live App?
The BLK2FLY Live App monitors flight and data capture and relies on direct touch inputs for you to control the BLK2FLY in the air. Other features include panning around to change viewing direction, pinching to zoom, and double-tapping on live image, all while the BLK2FLY adapts its viewpoint accordingly. You can easily send the BLK2FLY to scan a new area by selecting the area through a point system directly on the 3D view in the app on your tablet. The BLK2FLY will then create its flight path to scan that area quickly and safely.
How do I view what I’ve captured with the BLK2FLY?
The BLK2FLY offers full visual feedback. With the BLK2FLY Live App, you can watch the flight through live panoramic video streamed back from the 5-camera system, or you can get a live 3D view of the environment you’re capturing. Once the scan is complete, data captured from the BLK2FLY can be uploaded to HxDR, giving you access to view, share, and store your data, all in the cloud.
How do I set up scan missions for the Leica BLK2FLY?
Select the area directly on the panoramic live view of the desired areas/objects you want to scan, and the BLK2FLY will plan an optimal flight path avoiding any obstacles along the way.
