"Reality Capture Guy" talks about an upcoming webinar session all about "Verity powered by JetStream" for rapid as-built verification

"Reality Capture Guy" talks about an upcoming webinar session all about "Verity powered by JetStream" for rapid as-built verification

Here's a synopsis for the upcoming webinar!

Optimize your Digital Construction QA Workflows with Verity, powered by JetStream

Please join us for an informative webinar on Leica Geosystems’ latest solution in the digital construction space, Verity powered by JetStream, created in cooperation with our partners at ClearEdge.

Digital Construction workflows, leveraging the sometimes labour-intensive creation and maintenance of BIM models, have developed rapidly over the last few years. Verity has been at the front of that movement offering an automated solution for clash/anti-clash reporting to conduct as-built verification and construction progress reporting.

Verity compares laser scans of as-built conditions against any 3D Navisworks model to generate accurate quality assessments. Now, you can check 100% of installed work in the time it used to take to spot check 5% and find construction mistakes before they become expensive problems.

Verity powered by JetStream takes the industry leading solution from Verity and supercharges it with Leica’s JetStream technology for up to 10x faster analysis and reporting from project loading to final delivery, while tapping into the collaborative benefits of working within the JetStream ecosystem.

This webinar will discuss:

  • Where does Verity sit within the Leica Field-to-Finished workflow
  • Choosing the right sensor and the right field workflow to get the most out of Verity powered by JetStream
  • Preparing your data for use in Verity powered by JetStream
  • How CloudWorx and Verity combine to supercharge your Verity workflow
  • What are the unique benefits of Verity powered by JetStream

"Reality Capture Guy" on setting goals for 2021 - what are your goals for 2021, and beyond?

"Reality Capture Guy" on setting goals for 2021 - what are your goals for 2021, and beyond?

🎯 #2021Goals

- Produce 6 webinars (I only managed 5 in 2020)
(Pssst... we've got some awesome new things coming and I'm positive you will LOVE them!)

- Re-start "articles" on LinkedIn
(I used to do one a month and these were quite popular - interested to know what you think...)

- Continue to produce #podcast content
(even with limited listeners, it's another avenue for information and the conversational style often allows for different topics and new angles on established trends - p.s if you want to join me on one of these, let me know - it's low/no budget however!)

- Host an "AMA" (ask me anything) session with Faheem Khan - related to #realitycapture solutions of course...

- Get better at both LinkedIn Sales Navigator & Salesforce Lightning...
(These are both fundamental solutions to many sales organisations, and whilst I use them almost daily - I really want to be a pro!)

- Be happier & healthier

- Read more / walk more / bike more

- Buy a new bicycle (see above)

- Manage at least 1 foreign holiday
(as everything was postponed last year...Venice, we missed you!)

I think that's about it, for now...

What are your #2021Goals?

Reality Capture Guy takes on "online event fatigue" - presenting or listening... it's hard!

With so many online events happening in 2020 it's very easy to get swept up in the whole process and get involved with far too many! How are you coping with so many online events? Are you close to burnout? Whether you're presenting or whether you're viewing it's actually very tough doing everything 100% remotely - as I am finding out!
