Software Engineer, SLAM

OUR VISION
When people use our technology to "bridge the gap" between the physical and digital worlds, they don't just capture reality - they create a new one. In this new reality, they are smarter, more productive, more streamlined, and more creative - because they have the digital foundation to build the world they want to live in.

That's what NavVis offers in all our products and services: the tools to not just map the world as it is, but to pave the way to a better future. To forge something new. Physical or digital, there is only one reality. And it's the reality NavVis empowers people to build better.
