NavVis

NavVis builds photorealistic digital twins by combining hardware and software for reality capture. Founded in 2013 as a spin-off from Technical University of Munich and headquartered in Munich, Germany, the company develops mobile mapping systems and cloud-based spatial data processing software used by surveyors, construction teams, and manufacturing professionals working with the built environment.

The hardware side centers on wearable mobile mapping systems: NavVis VLX for reality capture of built environments and NavVis MLX for capturing spatial data. These devices carry the imaging and spatial sensing payload through sites where tripod-based scanning is impractical. On the software side, NavVis IVION is a cloud-based platform that turns the resulting spatial data into actionable insights, covering 3D spatial data processing, cloud-based analytics, and photorealistic imaging across the capture-to-decision pipeline.

Technical work spans reality capture technology, mobile mapping systems, digital twin creation, 3D spatial data processing, and photorealistic imaging. The company describes its team as engineers, surveyors, and industry specialists working across surveying, construction, manufacturing, and real estate operations, and it positions itself as a global provider in reality capture, with deployments alongside large industrial enterprises. Engineering work here is grounded in deployed field systems rather than laboratory prototypes, and the stated mission is BUILD BETTER REALITY.
