1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:08,400
it's amazing when you take a moment to look around how much technology is all

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:13,259
around us I mean they're building Quantum Computing chips two

3
00:00:10,019 --> 00:00:15,599
municipalities away in Burnaby and down

4
00:00:13,259 --> 00:00:21,420
the street from our office seriously it's so close that we could hit it with

5
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:24,779
a potato cannon Excelsior measuring has

6
00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:27,240
got a thirty thousand dollar laser

7
00:00:24,779 --> 00:00:32,520
scanner that they've invited us to go take a look at so uh

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:37,620
we're walking there it's a crazy cool piece of kit that allows you to turn

9
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:41,399
this into this

10
00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:48,899
and this video is brought to you by thermaltake the thermaltake core P90

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:53,340
tempered glass case features five millimeter thick glass and angled open

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,960
frame design a bunch of different layout options with vertical GPU mounting with

13
00:00:55,620 --> 00:01:01,080
a riser cable included and more you can check it out at the link in the video

14
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:06,069
description

15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,000
foreign so this place is actually pretty cool the owner Daniel has been a long

16
00:01:12,659 --> 00:01:20,640
time viewer they've got a gigantic floor mat when you walk in that's like

17
00:01:16,939 --> 00:01:22,740
Excelsior and everyone from their

18
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:28,439
bookkeeper all the way up to the folks working on 3D modeling or graphic design

19
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:36,200
or using custom hand-built workstations so it's a pretty cool vibe in this place

20
00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:39,720
anyway this is the BLK

21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:42,960
360. wow and I've been asked very nicely

22
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:45,479
by the owner here not to drop it I see

23
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,299
my reputation has preceded me somewhat but don't worry don't worry I'm I'm

24
00:01:46,860 --> 00:01:54,180
experienced at this sort of thing what does this cost to get 30 grand anyway so

25
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:56,840
this puppy right here will do three

26
00:01:54,180 --> 00:02:04,200
separate types of skins all simultaneously it does photo it does 3D

27
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:06,899
with what's called a a point cloud or

28
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:11,160
something along those lines and this little sticker right here that I guess

29
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:17,040
Fleer probably Twisted leica's ARM to include on it it also does thermal

30
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:19,560
scanning at the same time so it'll

31
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:26,760
actually record depending on the quality of the scan that you're going for

32
00:02:21,060 --> 00:02:30,959
anywhere from a hundred thousand to 360

33
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:33,480
000 data points per second as it Spurs

34
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:38,040
around and spins around whether it's a room or or outdoor or whatever it is

35
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:42,780
that you're trying to scan in terms of of accessories I don't often get to

36
00:02:40,020 --> 00:02:47,519
unbox things that cost this much you get a car adapter

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:51,239
so you on your way to a site you know if you're driving up to Kamloops or

38
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:58,500
something you can have it charging up you get uh a battery

39
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,840
you get a wall charger with

40
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:03,920
International adapters and finally

41
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:12,060
a battery charger

42
00:03:08,580 --> 00:03:14,640
for the wall charger so you can charge

43
00:03:12,060 --> 00:03:19,260
the batteries wow okay give me a second I gotta get all this stuff out of the

44
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:22,560
way all right so uh let's take a bit of

45
00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:25,700
a closer look here oh

46
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,700
all right there we go

47
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:34,200
so that's it that's all there is to it it's got like

48
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,260
a blasted aluminum housing it's got uh

49
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:41,720
oh I guess I'm gonna need that battery there we go it's got a battery

50
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,720
compartment at the back

51
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:53,760
look at that smooth action on the door that that is what thirty thousand

52
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:58,500
dollars buys you and then you got your power button on the front and man

53
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:04,500
there's not a lot to it so here on the back they've got three 15 megapixel

54
00:04:01,739 --> 00:04:09,799
cameras and what those do is they take the photographic image of the site so

55
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:16,260
they will actually create a 150 megapixel Dome around the location

56
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,620
where the camera is set up so the doodad in the middle is going to spin around

57
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:24,060
like this and then the whole unit is going to spin around 360 degrees and

58
00:04:22,139 --> 00:04:31,860
it's going to basically measure the distance between the BLK 360 and all the

59
00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:35,940
objects surrounded as as Point data and then that will all have to be assembled

60
00:04:33,419 --> 00:04:41,460
after the fact now it can hold something to the tune of a hundred scans on its

61
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:49,020
built-in memory and the accuracy of this so out to about 60 meters is within four

62
00:04:46,699 --> 00:04:53,759
millimeters so there are quite a few applications of this technology but what

63
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:59,040
Excelsior measuring does with it is they get scans of the outsides of buildings

64
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:03,300
because a lot of the time if you want to uh let's say put an addition on a house

65
00:05:01,979 --> 00:05:07,259
or if you want to change something about a commercial construction project what

66
00:05:05,699 --> 00:05:11,520
you have to do is you have to submit to the city and as built measurement of the

67
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:16,080
building it's not good enough to send blueprints because they might not have

68
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:22,320
been adhered to perfectly so in the old days you would have to take like a like

69
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,220
a pocket laser range finder and just

70
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:28,020
kind of sort of math everything based on angles

71
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:32,520
this you just plunk it down in the parking lot

72
00:05:29,460 --> 00:05:33,780
press run and it gets you all of the

73
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:40,680
measurements to within that four millimeter accuracy I was talking about and it can actually even run out in sort

74
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:43,020
of a light mist it's ip54 rated now it's

75
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:47,520
not perfect it doesn't handle or this model anyway doesn't handle things like

76
00:05:44,699 --> 00:05:51,120
the inside of a k very well so for mining applications they've got a more

77
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:55,860
powerful model because it doesn't handle like blacks or or dark blues or

78
00:05:53,400 --> 00:06:01,560
reflective surfaces but for their application it has proven to be very

79
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:03,539
very useful but enough talking about it

80
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:08,220
they've actually agreed to let us borrow it so we're going to take this back to

81
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:12,180
our office and get a 3D scan of the Linus Media Group building okay so here

82
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,720
we are in our set we're actually running a scan right now we're probably going to

83
00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:21,120
have to discard this one because it's going to have my face in it but don't don't worry too much about that

84
00:06:18,780 --> 00:06:28,680
basically what it's going to take is about six placements here in our our

85
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:31,319
apartment set slash studio for us to

86
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:37,460
build such an accurate digital representation of it that anyone who had

87
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:41,639
the file could go and create a real life

88
00:06:37,460 --> 00:06:43,860
Recreation of this studio like that

89
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:49,220
I mean it's construction so there's like permits and stuff but but like like a

90
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:54,060
slow okay so now we're running the last scan

91
00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:59,819
and then what we're gonna do is we're gonna send all of this point cloud data

92
00:06:57,180 --> 00:07:05,039
back with Daniel to his company they're gonna process it and we're gonna go

93
00:07:01,740 --> 00:07:07,080
check out the results tomorrow okay so

94
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:11,520
normally they have a week to do this kind of stuff so we're gonna go a little

95
00:07:08,819 --> 00:07:18,600
bit easy on them but we are back in the office and Daniel's got a 3D scan of our

96
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:25,979
studio that we can actually just what like fly through whoa

97
00:07:21,979 --> 00:07:25,979
holy crap

98
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:31,319
so this you guys is the bedroom set it

99
00:07:29,699 --> 00:07:36,000
goes all the way up to the ceiling too okay so Daniel's company uses this

100
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:40,680
primarily for measuring like uh surveying a construction project as we

101
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:45,599
mentioned before but this Tech has actually been known to be used in the

102
00:07:43,139 --> 00:07:52,919
production industry as well so what they could do is they could take a space or

103
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,720
in our case a set or a location and then

104
00:07:52,919 --> 00:07:59,400
they could import this information because this is all just just just like

105
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:04,740
a point Cloud they can take all this information and they can create a model

106
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:07,620
in 3ds Max or Maya and then what they

107
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:13,020
could actually do is they could build up a set including lighting locations and

108
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:18,539
see once they've rendered it out using obviously quite powerful Hardware

109
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:20,699
what exactly it would look like in real

110
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:23,460
life so it's super cool stuff that these guys are doing here at Excelsior

111
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,120
measuring they're not like a sponsor for the video or anything they're just a

112
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:31,740
local company that was literally down the street that had a fun toy to play

113
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:34,979
with that ended up being actually even

114
00:08:31,740 --> 00:08:38,640
cooler than I expected so hopefully you

115
00:08:34,979 --> 00:08:40,140
guys enjoyed coming along for the ride
