Rock Mass Assessment (Q System)
David (programmer) and Stefan (geologist) chat about the concept of Rock Mapper after a Beach Road bike ride in Melbourne.
The initial concept was quite basic, but we soon added more advanced features. Extensive field tests allowed us to develop & implement practical workflows that users love.
First public release of Rock Mapper on the Apple App Store. A big day that we were looking forward to for years.
The very positive feedback prompted us to finally set up a proper business structure to be able to commercially interact with our clients.
Entering a niche market as a small company is a challenge. We were very pleased to see the quick uptake of Rock Mapper in the mining industry by our valued early adopters.
A new and custom-designed, waterproof LED light array that is attached to the iPad Pro. Optimised for LiDAR scanning & face photography. All gear packed into a sturdy & compact case.
Rock Mapper is entering another dimension. Democratizing LiDAR and enabling the acquisition of georeferenced 3D point clouds by making use of the iPad`s LiDAR sensor.
Walls and Roof mapping. The smart georeferencing workflow allows for automatic 3D registration of roof and wall maps based on the reference info on the face photograph.
Rock Mapper is going geotechnical. A dedicated tool for rock mass assessment using Q System allows for a powerful and streamlined workflow.
Big LiDAR Upgrade plus new Augmented Reality (AR) Tool. Use LiDAR to generate 3D textured meshes and view them in AR.
Mapping onto 3D LiDAR Scans. Annotate and draw onto LiDAR Scans using the Apple Pencil.
