About this app

Stream is the FARO field-capture mobile app that connects FARO hardware with FARO Sphere cloud-based services. By uniting hardware with cloud software, Stream makes on-site capture workflows more efficient and brings captured data directly into the FARO ecosystem. Stream is compatible with both the Focus Premium and Orbis mobile scanners with a unified interface. Stream provides live feedback of the captured data, performing real-time SLAM for Orbis and pre-registration for Focus. Stream for Focus Premium also allows the ability to include complementary data like field annotations and photographic images to the project after a scan is complete.

Stream provides the best on-site efficiency for data capture with the Focus Premium and Orbis for scan operations in architecture, engineering, construction, facility management, geospatial, and mining.

Ratings and reviews

can only control certain aspects of the scanner from the app, (focus premium) and device screen locks when connected. so if you want to scan a smaller area you cannot use the app.

I'm a long time Leica user who decided to give Faro a go. While I like the scanner the app is disappointing.. You can only view the completed scans as a flattened greyscale panoramic image and can't zoom or navigate in any other way. The images are also cut off, so you can only see part of it. No 360 or 3D views. 2) Scans get lost in plan view and there are no option to zoom extents or zoom to scan. So sometimes you get lost in space and can't event see your scans, let alone do a registration.

• Stream can now be used to perform on-site compensation (OSC) on the Blink scanner and to generate and print an OSC report.
• The preview image visible in Sphere XG is now also available in Stream.
• Projects can now be selectively downloaded to a USB stick via Stream.
