Learn Why AV Professionals Choose TrueView GO for Fast, Accurate Room Scanning
GeoCue is proud to announce our first appearance at the E4 Experience in Chicago, where we’ll be showcasing our cutting-edge TrueView aerial and Handheld LiDAR solutions with Almo Pro AV, our newest GeoCue distribution partner. As the AV industry continues to embrace technologies that merge creativity with precision, tools like the TrueView GO are stepping forward as practical, cost-effective solutions for everyday design and installation challenges.
At this year’s E4, attendees will have the opportunity to see first-hand how TrueView GO, our handheld LiDAR + SLAM scanner, is transforming workflows for professional AV design, system integration, and production.
Why LiDAR Matters for Pro AV
In professional AV, the details of a space matter. Every rigging point, every wall angle, every ceiling truss and obstruction can influence the success of an installation. Designing audio coverage requires accurate room dimensions. Projection mapping depends on precise surface measurements. Even running cables through a venue can require knowledge of the pathways and infrastructure that aren’t always captured in paper drawings.
Traditionally, AV teams have relied on terrestrial laser scanners or total stations to capture this information. While these high-end systems can deliver sub-millimeter accuracy, they also come with significant trade-offs:
Cost: Terrestrial scanners can be prohibitively expensive, limiting access to only the largest firms or specialized survey teams.
Setup and workflow: Setting up tripods, moving equipment through a venue, and repeating scans across multiple positions takes time and interrupts the natural flow of a project site.
Specialized training: Operating and processing data from these systems often requires expertise outside the day-to-day skill set of AV professionals.
The TrueView GO offers an alternative that balances accuracy, mobility, and ease of use. With accuracies within a few centimeters and relative accuracies down to about one centimeter, the GO provides “surveying-grade” precision sufficient for AV applications,without the overhead of a traditional laser scanner. For most AV projects, where tolerances fall within inches rather than millimeters, this level of accuracy is exactly what’s needed.
TrueView GO in Action
The TrueView GO is a handheld LiDAR + SLAM scanner designed for mobility and speed. Instead of setting up a tripod or pulling a tape measure, you simply walk the room, scanning as you go. Its lightweight design and real-time visualization give you immediate feedback, so you can see whether you’ve captured the whole space before you leave the site.
Some of the most practical AV applications include:
- Room and venue scanning: Capture complete floor-to-ceiling detail to design immersive sound systems, optimize projection coverage, or plan seating layouts.
- Rigging and ceiling capture: Identify trusses, catwalks, and grid structures to coordinate lighting and projector placement.
- As-built documentation: Deliver accurate models to architects, engineers, or clients to keep everyone aligned on existing conditions.
- Installation verification: Rescan after installation to confirm that speaker arrays, lighting rigs, or projection surfaces were built to spec.
With its integrated imagery and colorization, the GO produces intuitive, photorealistic point clouds that are easy to navigate. Color helps identify doors, signage, cabling, and other features that may otherwise get lost in monochrome scans. And because the system relies on SLAM technology, you can scan even in environments with no GPS signal—basements, backstage areas, or inside large venues.
The LP360 Advantage
Collecting point cloud data is just the first step. The real value comes from processing, quality-checking, and delivering usable outputs that integrate into AV design workflows. That’s where LP360, GeoCue’s point cloud software, makes the difference.
With LP360 you can:
QA/QC your data immediately, ensuring coverage, accuracy, and completeness before moving on.
Register multiple scans seamlessly, aligning data sets into a single, coherent model.
Colorize and clean point clouds, remove noise, stray points, or move objects that can distract from the usable dataset.
Extract deliverables such as floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections that can be exported into CAD, Revit, Vectorworks, or other AV design platforms.
Create immersive deliverables for client review, giving stakeholders a visual, navigable 3D environment instead of just static measurements.
By pairing the TrueView GO with LP360, AV professionals can own the entire workflow—from capture to final deliverables—without outsourcing to third parties or investing in overly complex systems. This not only saves time and money but also gives you confidence in the accuracy of your work.
See It in Chicago
We invite you to join us at the E4 Experience in Chicago to see the TrueView GO in action. Chuck Snow from GeoCue will be at our booth to answer questions, demonstrate the scanner, and let you experience it for yourself. Pick it up, walk the room, and scan the floor. You’ll see just how easy it is to get “GOing” with handheld LiDAR.
Partnering with Almo Pro, GeoCue is committed to making advanced 3D scanning technology accessible to the AV industry. Whether you’re designing the next big immersive installation, fine-tuning audio coverage for a performance space, or documenting as-builts for collaboration, the TrueView GO and LP360 provide the precision, efficiency, and usability you need.
Come see us at E4 Chicago, and discover how we can help bring clarity and confidence to your next project.
