Carto Professional Calibration and fusion of point clouds from several depth cameras and LiDARs.
Carto is a point cloud acquisition, calibration, and fusion tool. It connects to multiple volumetric capture devices and calibrates their point clouds to build a coherent map of a space. The resulting fused point cloud can then be streamed in real time to other software as orthographic views or raw data.
Features
- ✓ Multi-sensor calibration
- ✓ Real-time point cloud fusion
- ✓ Network outputs (orthographic views or raw data)
- ✓ Configurable inclusion / crop region

suite@sat.qc.caLeverage SAT's unique expertise for your ambitious projects: equipment rental — Audiodice, haptic floor, Scenic stations, immersive studio — and R&D support from the team that built them. Quoted per project.
Audiodice Custom Five multidirectional loudspeakers for eccentric 3D sound spatialization.
Five loudspeakers with 12 independent drivers each, 60 channels in all: sound radiates from the speakers outwards to the audience rather than from a ring around it, so eccentric and concentric spatialization can be combined. Available to buy or for rent, installation quoted separately.

Haptic Floor Custom Modular floor of triangular tiles that move and vibrate under the audience’s feet.
Each triangular tile sits on actuators that raise it by 2 cm or make it vibrate; the whole floor is driven by OSC messages, so from any Suite tool or your own. Built to let an audience feel a sound, a movement or a response to its presence. Available to buy on custom sizes or for rent.
Scenic Stations Custom Telepresence rack: 4 video inputs and 4 outputs at 1080p60, 4 XLR audio inputs and 4 outputs.
The Scenic Station is a Linux machine in a 4U road case, ready to plug in: 3 SDI and 1 HDMI inputs, 4 HDMI outputs (1080p at 60 frames per second), 4 XLR audio inputs and 4 outputs, an NVIDIA GPU, and the Scenic software driven from a browser. Available for buying or rent.
Immersive Studio Custom CAVE-type studio: projection on three walls and the floor, ceiling grid for cameras and speakers.
The immersive studio projects on three walls and the floor; a ceiling grid takes cameras, speakers and sensors. About 35 m² / 382 sq ft (16 × 22.5 ft, 10.25 ft high). Rental depends on needs and availability.
