Continuous Software-Only Digital Twins vs. Hardware Scanners
Explore how Splatica's software-only platform compares to Matterport Pro3 and Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro for continuous enterprise facility monitoring.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
While They Scan Moments, We Map the Continuous World
How Splatica redefines facility intelligence against Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro and Matterport Pro3
For Enterprise AEC Teams

THE CHALLENGE
Reality Changes. Your Digital Twin Doesn't.
Hardware-Bound
One trained operator, one device, one campaign at a time.
Point-in-Time
Months pass between scans. Facilities drift from their digital representation.
Operationally Inert
Point clouds and floor plans don't update themselves, don't understand objects, and can't feed downstream systems.
Matterport Pro3 and Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro both live in this quadrant.
MARKET MAP
One Quadrant Nobody Has Claimed — Until Now
CONTINUOUS
POINT-IN-TIME
HARDWARE-BOUND
SOFTWARE-ONLY
No incumbent — fleet LiDAR vendors haven't made the move
SPLATICA
Continuous. Software-only.
Cameras you already own.
Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro
Matterport Pro3
Free tools (Polycam, Luma) — not enterprise
Splatica
COMPETITOR PROFILE
Xgrids Lixel L2 Pro
High-fidelity handheld SLAM scanner with Gaussian Splatting output
FORM FACTOR
Handheld, ~1.7 kg. Single operator.
LiDAR
32-channel, 640,000 pts/sec. Up to 120–300 m range.
ACCURACY
±1–2 cm relative, <3 cm absolute
CAMERAS
Dual/quad 48 MP panoramic
OUTPUT
Point clouds + Gaussian splats via LCC Studio. Revit plugin. Unity/Unreal SDKs.
Where It Falls Short
Hardware-bound — one device per operator
Point-in-time — no continuous update story
No semantics or physics-ready output by default
Splatica
COMPETITOR PROFILE
Matterport Pro3
Tripod-mounted LiDAR camera with enterprise SaaS platform
Tripod-mounted. Indoor + outdoor capable.
134.2 MP panoramic. 100K pts/sec. Up to 100 m range.
±20 mm at 10 m. <20 sec per scan position.
E57 point clouds, MatterPaks (floor plans, OBJ)
SaaS with Procore & Autodesk Construction Cloud integrations
Where It Falls Short
Hardware-bound — scan campaigns, not continuous monitoring
Real estate DNA — UX designed for property tours, not industrial ops
No live semantic update — no robotics-ready output

WHY SPLATICA
The Only Continuous, Software-Only Digital Twin Platform
Zero New Hardware
Deploy with existing phones, 360 cameras, drones, or CCTV. No capital equipment purchase.
Continuous Updates
Targeted delta scans. Facilities stay current without full campaigns.
Semantic + Physics-Ready
Objects labeled, segmented, exported as OpenUSD with PhysX metadata. Built for robotics and automation.
API-First Platform
Embeddable viewer, multi-format exports, open integrations. Not a walled garden.
Competitors own a moment in time. Splatica owns the living facility.
