WEBVTT

00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:08.400
it's amazing when you take a moment to look around how much technology is all

00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:13.259
around us I mean they're building Quantum Computing chips two

00:00:10.019 --> 00:00:15.599
municipalities away in Burnaby and down

00:00:13.259 --> 00:00:21.420
the street from our office seriously it's so close that we could hit it with

00:00:18.119 --> 00:00:24.779
a potato cannon Excelsior measuring has

00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:27.240
got a thirty thousand dollar laser

00:00:24.779 --> 00:00:32.520
scanner that they've invited us to go take a look at so uh

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

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:41.399
this into this

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:48.899
and this video is brought to you by thermaltake the thermaltake core P90

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:53.340
tempered glass case features five millimeter thick glass and angled open

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:57.960
frame design a bunch of different layout options with vertical GPU mounting with

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

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:06.069
description

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:15.000
foreign so this place is actually pretty cool the owner Daniel has been a long

00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:20.640
time viewer they've got a gigantic floor mat when you walk in that's like

00:01:16.939 --> 00:01:22.740
Excelsior and everyone from their

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.439
bookkeeper all the way up to the folks working on 3D modeling or graphic design

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:36.200
or using custom hand-built workstations so it's a pretty cool vibe in this place

00:01:31.259 --> 00:01:39.720
anyway this is the BLK

00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:42.960
360. wow and I've been asked very nicely

00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:45.479
by the owner here not to drop it I see

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

00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:54.180
experienced at this sort of thing what does this cost to get 30 grand anyway so

00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:56.840
this puppy right here will do three

00:01:54.180 --> 00:02:04.200
separate types of skins all simultaneously it does photo it does 3D

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.899
with what's called a a point cloud or

00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:11.160
something along those lines and this little sticker right here that I guess

00:02:08.580 --> 00:02:17.040
Fleer probably Twisted leica's ARM to include on it it also does thermal

00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:19.560
scanning at the same time so it'll

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:26.760
actually record depending on the quality of the scan that you're going for

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:30.959
anywhere from a hundred thousand to 360

00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:33.480
000 data points per second as it Spurs

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:38.040
around and spins around whether it's a room or or outdoor or whatever it is

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

00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:47.519
unbox things that cost this much you get a car adapter

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

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:58.500
something you can have it charging up you get uh a battery

00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.840
you get a wall charger with

00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:03.920
International adapters and finally

00:03:05.220 --> 00:03:12.060
a battery charger

00:03:08.580 --> 00:03:14.640
for the wall charger so you can charge

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

00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:22.560
way all right so uh let's take a bit of

00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:25.700
a closer look here oh

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.700
all right there we go

00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:34.200
so that's it that's all there is to it it's got like

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.260
a blasted aluminum housing it's got uh

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

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:41.720
compartment at the back

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.760
look at that smooth action on the door that that is what thirty thousand

00:03:50.940 --> 00:03:58.500
dollars buys you and then you got your power button on the front and man

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

00:04:01.739 --> 00:04:09.799
cameras and what those do is they take the photographic image of the site so

00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:16.260
they will actually create a 150 megapixel Dome around the location

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

00:04:17.280 --> 00:04:24.060
like this and then the whole unit is going to spin around 360 degrees and

00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:31.860
it's going to basically measure the distance between the BLK 360 and all the

00:04:29.340 --> 00:04:35.940
objects surrounded as as Point data and then that will all have to be assembled

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

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

00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:53.759
millimeters so there are quite a few applications of this technology but what

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:59.040
Excelsior measuring does with it is they get scans of the outsides of buildings

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

00:05:01.979 --> 00:05:07.259
or if you want to change something about a commercial construction project what

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

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:16.080
building it's not good enough to send blueprints because they might not have

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

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.220
a pocket laser range finder and just

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:28.020
kind of sort of math everything based on angles

00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:32.520
this you just plunk it down in the parking lot

00:05:29.460 --> 00:05:33.780
press run and it gets you all of the

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

00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:43.020
of a light mist it's ip54 rated now it's

00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:47.520
not perfect it doesn't handle or this model anyway doesn't handle things like

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:51.120
the inside of a k very well so for mining applications they've got a more

00:05:49.020 --> 00:05:55.860
powerful model because it doesn't handle like blacks or or dark blues or

00:05:53.400 --> 00:06:01.560
reflective surfaces but for their application it has proven to be very

00:05:58.500 --> 00:06:03.539
very useful but enough talking about it

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

00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:12.180
our office and get a 3D scan of the Linus Media Group building okay so here

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

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

00:06:18.780 --> 00:06:28.680
basically what it's going to take is about six placements here in our our

00:06:25.080 --> 00:06:31.319
apartment set slash studio for us to

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:37.460
build such an accurate digital representation of it that anyone who had

00:06:34.020 --> 00:06:41.639
the file could go and create a real life

00:06:37.460 --> 00:06:43.860
Recreation of this studio like that

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

00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:54.060
slow okay so now we're running the last scan

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

00:06:57.180 --> 00:07:05.039
back with Daniel to his company they're gonna process it and we're gonna go

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:07.080
check out the results tomorrow okay so

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

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

00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:25.979
studio that we can actually just what like fly through whoa

00:07:21.979 --> 00:07:25.979
holy crap

00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:31.319
so this you guys is the bedroom set it

00:07:29.699 --> 00:07:36.000
goes all the way up to the ceiling too okay so Daniel's company uses this

00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:40.680
primarily for measuring like uh surveying a construction project as we

00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:45.599
mentioned before but this Tech has actually been known to be used in the

00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:52.919
production industry as well so what they could do is they could take a space or

00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:54.720
in our case a set or a location and then

00:07:52.919 --> 00:07:59.400
they could import this information because this is all just just just like

00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:04.740
a point Cloud they can take all this information and they can create a model

00:08:01.080 --> 00:08:07.620
in 3ds Max or Maya and then what they

00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:13.020
could actually do is they could build up a set including lighting locations and

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:18.539
see once they've rendered it out using obviously quite powerful Hardware

00:08:14.900 --> 00:08:20.699
what exactly it would look like in real

00:08:18.539 --> 00:08:23.460
life so it's super cool stuff that these guys are doing here at Excelsior

00:08:21.960 --> 00:08:27.120
measuring they're not like a sponsor for the video or anything they're just a

00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:31.740
local company that was literally down the street that had a fun toy to play

00:08:28.740 --> 00:08:34.979
with that ended up being actually even

00:08:31.740 --> 00:08:38.640
cooler than I expected so hopefully you

00:08:34.979 --> 00:08:40.140
guys enjoyed coming along for the ride

think it was less than a 24-hour turnaround for us really cool really

00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:37.320
