ScanOps review
A browser platform for high-fidelity splat viewing, storage, permissions, and private sharing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ScanOps is a browser-based platform from Luminous Group Limited for viewing, managing, and sharing Gaussian splat projects. It targets enterprise and mid-market organizations working with industrial documentation, remote inspections, digital twins, facilities, and other reality-capture use cases. Users can explore compatible scan files in modern desktop browsers without specialist point-cloud or CAD software. The viewer supports real-time navigation, high-fidelity visualization, and local browser viewing of compatible files, with XGRIDS .lcc support identified for scan content.
The published offering combines a free viewer or demo with enterprise deployments handled through contact sales. Paid enterprise deployments can add project and folder management, user accounts, roles and permissions, private project sharing, controlled client access, cloud-hosted scan storage, custom branding and domains, usage and activity reporting, integrations, and custom viewer workflows. This makes ScanOps suited to organizations that need a governed way to present reality-capture work to internal or external audiences, rather than a tool focused on reconstructing splats. Deployment is cloud-based, while processing is described as hybrid. Support is provided by email, and ISO 27001 is listed in the product's compliance profile.
ScanOps stands out through the depth of its hosted viewing and sharing controls: branded access, permissions, reporting, and workflow customization extend beyond a basic browser viewer. Its scope is narrower for teams seeking capture, reconstruction, or broad file-format coverage in the same product. Organizations already holding compatible scan files and needing controlled presentation should find the feature set aligned with that workflow. Teams primarily looking to generate Gaussian splats, work entirely in specialist desktop tools, or avoid a browser-centered deployment should consider a more reconstruction-focused or native-client alternative.
