Wherein the first field of view at least partially overlaps with the second field of view.

Abstract: Three-dimensional coordinate scanners and methods of scanning environments are described. The scanners include a housing having a top, a bottom, a first side, a second side, a first end face, and a second end face. A 3D point cloud system is arranged within the housing including a rotating mirror and configured to acquire 3D point cloud data of a scanned environment. A first color camera is arranged within the housing on the first side and configured to capture respective color data of the scanned environment and a second color camera arranged within the housing on the second side and configured to capture respective color data of the scanned environment.

Abstract: A 3D measuring device is provided. The device includes a measuring head with a light transmitter and a light receiver. A control and evaluation device is coupled to the light transmitter and light receiver and determines the distance to the object. An accessory interface allows an accessory device to be mechanically connected to the measuring head and can be electrically connected to the control and evaluation device. The accessory interface includes a receiving section and a contact section. The receiving and contact sections are arranged such that the accessory device can be inserted into the accessory interface in an insertion direction in order to electrically and mechanically couple the accessory device to the accessory interface. A support structure having an integral slot is coupled to the measuring head. The slot has the receiving section for the mechanical connection and the at least one contact section.
