Riegl acknowledged China as one of its fastest growing global markets by hosting its LIDAR 2015 conference in Hong Kong and Guangzhou during the same week. This new and innovative approach made the conference conveniently accessible to attendees from around the world.â©
For Johannes Riegl Jr, the company’s chief marketing officer, the result was gratifying and a source of much pride. “A record number of attendees, captivating keynotes, and fascinating presentations from more than 100 speakers added-up to a major success,” he commented. â©

We will just have to wait and see!” he added.â©

Riegl also took the opportunity to introduce new and improved hardware and software, not least its new VUX-1HA, VUX-1UAV and VUX-1LR high-performance LiDAR sensors for Kinematic Laser Scanning. The three models are optimised for mobile, UAV-based and airborne mapping respectively.â©
For airborne scanning, RIEGL’s new VP-1 ultra-compact helipod generated much interest as a user-friendly turnkey solution that integrates the VUX-1LR sensor, camera solution, IMU/GNSS and control unit. You can watch the project video on the RIEGL channel at YouTube. â©

The launch of new products, riveting presentations from Riegl staff and users, plus exciting evening events at both locations more than matched expectations and augur well for Riegl LIDAR 2017 – date and venue to be announced.
