System Overview

The PLANIX R1 is an iGUIDE camera system designed to measure and photograph spaces simultaneously
to create floor plans, detailed drawings, and iGUIDE 3D virtual tours. The R1 uses a built-in laser scanner
to gather laser measurement data and a Ricoh THETA X 360° camera to capture panorama images. The
scanner's laser beam is infrared and invisible.
The R1 is controlled using the iGUIDE PLANIX smart device app and has a built-in Wi-Fi access point for
connecting directly to a Wi-Fi-enabled smart device. Download the app from the App Store or Google
Play. Phones and tablets with a 5-7" display are most convenient for using the iGUIDE PLANIX app.
Using the R1 with a quick release (QR) plate, and a ball head is recommended to allow for easy levelling
on a tripod. The main components of the PLANIX R1 camera system are listed below. See Figures 2 and 3
for reference.
