Exploring the Future of 3D Scanning with Louis Pont and Aerial Perspectives Australia

Introduction: In the rapidly evolving world of 3D technology, Louis Pont, the founder of Aerial Perspectives Australia, stands out as a pioneer. For the past three years, Louis has been leveraging the innovative Galois 3D LiDAR camera to transform how industries document and showcase their spaces. His business specializes in creating immersive 3D walkthroughs, aerial photography, and mapping for a diverse range of clients. In a recent interview, Louis shared his journey with Galois, the impact it’s had on his business, and his vision for the future of 3D tour technology.

Discovering Galois: A Game-Changer for Aerial Perspectives Australia

Louis’s journey with Galois began in 2022 when he was searching for a flexible, subscription-free alternative to platforms like Matterport. A YouTube review introduced him to the Realsee Galois 3D LiDAR camera, which he found comparable to the Matterport Pro 3 in specifications. “I was looking for a tool that was flexible, easy to use, and didn’t add another subscription to my business,” Louis explained. The Galois’s ease of use, high-quality 16K panoramas, and the ability to preview 3D tours before paying credits through the Realsee platform won him over.

Since adopting Galois, Louis has been impressed by Realsee’s continuous software improvements. “I’ve been with Realsee for three years, and I’ve seen major progress in the software,” he said. The platform’s intuitive console and the ability to edit and view 3D tours without upfront costs have set it apart from competitors, making it a cornerstone of his business operations.

Aerial Perspectives Australia: Transforming Spaces into Digital Experiences

Louis shared the above project in his LinkedIn post, and wrote as follows: Thrilled to share my recent work on Narringa Ridgeview, a luxurious holiday rental managed by Luxico. I had the opportunity to photograph and 3D scan this stunning property, capturing its architectural beauty and breathtaking surroundings. This project exemplifies the blend of elegance and technology, offering an immersive 360° virtual tour that showcases every intricate detail. Ideal for those who seek a high-end retreat with unparalleled views. Excited to contribute to Luxico's vision of luxury living through advanced digital imaging.

Aerial Perspectives Australia specializes in 3D scanning, immersive 3D walkthroughs, aerial photography, and aerial mapping. The company serves clients across multiple industries, including construction, tourism, retail, government, conservation, and real estate. Their mission is clear: to turn real spaces into interactive digital experiences that are accurate, engaging, and accessible.

Louis uses the Galois for both indoor and outdoor scans, capturing everything from luxury hotels and commercial sites to conservation parks. One of the standout applications is in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector, where Louis sees significant potential. “The biggest potential I see is in AEC, where I document key construction stages, like pre-plaster handover and dilapidation,” he said. These scans provide builders and architects with accurate spatial data, enabling them to measure distances between walls, locate pipes, and reference electrical wiring for future renovations or insurance purposes.

A notable success story Louis shared involved pre-plaster scans for a construction project. “It’s been a very useful tool for builders and architects to refer back to how the stage of the construction was before they plastered it,” he noted. By providing precise 3D spatial data, these scans have become invaluable for professionals, enhancing documentation and decision-making.

The Power of Galois and Realsee’s Flexibility

For Louis, what sets Galois and Realsee apart is their flexibility and user-friendly approach. Unlike other platforms that require upfront payments, Realsee allows users to preview, edit, and view 3D tours before spending credits. “That’s one major benefit to Realsee,” Louis emphasized. The Galois scanner itself is a powerful tool, offering 16K panoramas that deliver stunning image quality for large indoor and outdoor spaces.

Louis also incorporates drone imagery into his offerings, creating a comprehensive visual package for clients. “I like to add drone imagery for the full visual package, and luckily, Realsee gives that possibility to the 3D tours,” he said. This combination of 3D scanning and aerial photography has helped Aerial Perspectives Australia deliver immersive experiences that captivate clients and their audiences.

Convincing Clients: The Ultra Quality Advantage

Louis recently demonstrated the power of Galois to a potential buyer—an architect—who compared standard and ultra-quality point clouds. The architect was particularly impressed with the ultra quality, noting issues with alignment and wall verticality in the standard version. “The architect found the ultra to be significantly better,” Louis shared, adding that he’s 90% certain the architect will purchase a Galois device. This interaction highlights the tangible benefits of Galois’s high-quality output, which is convincing clients across industries to invest in the technology.

The Future of 3D Tour Technology: AR, VR, and Beyond

Looking ahead, Louis is excited about the future of 3D tour technology, particularly with the integration of third-party tools through Realsee. “I’m really excited about the addition of third-party tools with Realsee, especially with AR and construction tools,” he said. He believes augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and extended reality (XR) will play a significant role in fields like AEC, making digital experiences even more immersive and practical.

Louis is particularly eager to explore a new solution from 3D Cam Pros, designed specifically for Galois users. “I’m pretty excited to try this and integrate it into my workflow to see how I can benefit my clients and increase the value of my 3D tours,” he said. As industries become increasingly digital, Louis sees AR and VR as transformative tools that will enhance how clients interact with and manage their spaces.

Conclusion

Louis Pont and Aerial Perspectives Australia are at the forefront of the 3D scanning revolution, using the Galois 3D LiDAR camera to create immersive digital experiences for clients across construction, tourism, retail, government, conservation, and real estate.
