Over FARO Stream
The official app designed to control your FARO® Focus Premium and Orbis laser scanners is called FARO Stream. This application serves as a bridge between your hardware and the powerful cloud-based services provided by FARO Sphere. Stream integrates seamlessly with both the Focus Premium and Orbis mobile scanners, offering a unified user interface for enhanced usability.
Stream revolutionizes on-site data capture workflows by enabling real-time monitoring of scanned data.

This means you can immediately see the quality and accuracy of your scans right from your mobile device, ensuring that any necessary adjustments are made promptly.
One of the standout features of Stream is its ability to incorporate additional data types into your projects post-scan. For instance, you can add field annotations and photographic images to provide context and enhance the overall dataset. This capability ensures that all relevant information is captured and stored within the FARO ecosystem, making it easier to manage and analyze your data later on.
FARO Stream is particularly well-suited for professionals working in various industries such as architecture, engineering, construction, facility management, geospatial mapping, and mining. Whether you're capturing detailed scans of buildings or conducting topographic surveys, Stream streamlines the entire process, allowing you to achieve maximum efficiency and accuracy on-site.
In summary, FARO Stream is an indispensable tool for anyone using FARO Focus Premium or Orbis laser scanners. Its seamless integration with cloud services, real-time data feedback, and versatile data management capabilities make it an essential part of any modern scanning workflow.
