3D capture for urban planning and heritage.

Streetscapes, heritage buildings, and cultural spaces — documented while they stand, as data that outlasts them.

Cities overwrite themselves.

Singapore rebuilds constantly. Shophouse rows, interiors, and streetscapes change or disappear, and what survives is often only photographs — visually rich, spatially useless.

Handheld capture closes that gap at practical cost: a Lixel K2 walk records a heritage interior or a street section as a measurable point cloud and a photorealistic 3DGS scene. For planning studies, conservation submissions, and institutional archives, that combination — geometry plus appearance — is the record that stays useful for decades.

How rental helps

Documentation with both halves.

Heritage interiors

Ornament, structure, and spatial relationships captured together — before restoration or loss.

Streetscape sections

Walkable capture of street character for planning and urban design studies.

Public engagement

3DGS scenes let stakeholders and the public experience places under discussion.

Typical workflows

Archive-grade habits, rental-grade cost.

Institutions and study teams rent per documentation campaign: capture systematically, process to point cloud and 3DGS, and archive both with capture metadata. Because outputs are open formats, the archive does not depend on any platform surviving.

Heritage capture, answered.

Is handheld capture suitable for fragile heritage sites?
Often, yes — it is non-contact and fast, which minimises time inside delicate spaces. Highly ornamented details may need supplementary techniques; we will say so when that is likely.
What should a heritage archive keep?
Both the point cloud (geometry) and the 3DGS scene (appearance), in open formats, with capture date, conditions, and technique recorded as metadata.
Can captures support conservation submissions?
Captured data can inform studies and submissions prepared by qualified consultants. Volumet provides the capture equipment, not the consultancy.
How much streetscape can one rental cover?
Walkable capture covers substantial street sections per day, conditions permitting. Describe the study area for a realistic estimate.
