Introduction

  • There is no Mac desktop version of ReCap 360 Pro. But there are a large number of features available in the web browser (at recap360.autodesk.com). This includes the ability to create a photo-based 3D mesh. But to create a laser scan project (import raw data, register it, etc) you'll need to use Windows.
  • The PlutoX Aerial Robotics Kit is a drone that you can program and add your own hardware components to. Using the Cygnus IDE and BasicX Expansion Cards you can reconfigure this quadcopter to be anything you want - it doesn’t even have to be a drone! Learn about this amazing device here.

Vimdrones Ground Control Station(GCS) Software could control thousands of drones in flight to have the drone light show. In GCS, open the Design Project(designed and exported in Vimdrones Designer) and upload the data to all drones. It could display real-time data on the drone's performance and position. When drone status is ready and setting parameters, click Takeoff to start our Drone Light Show.

Feature Highlights

  • Easy Usage Control thousands of drones just need one person
  • Efficient Drone Dashboard
  • Can run on multi PC for teamwork
  • RealTime 3D position view
  • Takeoff Countdown
