#15 - Felix Reinshagen

NavVis unveiled its new MLX handheld laser scanner for reality capture at INTERGEO in September 2024. The MLX complements the VLX2 and VLX3 wearable systems and answers customer requests for a smaller, more nimble product at a lower price-point. In this episode, NavVis co-founder and CEO Dr. Felix Reinshagen talks about the new product as well as intriguing implications, such as the tipping point at which vast amounts of data from mobile reality capture systems, supported by powerful software, become the norm. He delves into the transition from tripod-based to mobile systems. Felix cut his teeth at McKinsey and provides fascinating insights into how his career took a geospatial turn and how he uses his strong background in computer science, economics and business to guide NavVis skillfully. NavVis is healthy, successful and growing, but the decisions on investment, distribution model, markets, and adoption of new technology retain their fascination.
