GeoSLAM’s Big tour of Canada

Channel Manager for Canada, Matt Teppler (based out of Calgary, Alberta) decided to combine entertaining his family with the chance to capture some fun ZEB Horizon scans by taking a trip to some famous landmarks in Alberta, on GeoSLAM’s Big Tour of Canada.

First stop – Drumheller, Alberta for the World’s Largest Dinosaur.

Built in 2000, The World’s Largest Dinosaur is one of a several dinosaur-related attractions in the Town of Drumheller and measures 26.3 metres (86 ft) high and 46 metres (151 ft) long. Despite its size the beast was no match for the ZEB Horizon, with Matt being able to scan the site in less than five minutes.

Next on the Teppler family roadtrip, the gang decided to head to Vulcan, Alberta or the “Official Star Trek Capital of Canada”.

There are plenty of Star Trek attractions to keep you busy in Vulcan, such as space-themed murals and a Vulcan virtual reality game but none more exciting than an actual replica of the Starship Enterprise.

And finally, they visited the Lacombe fishing lure which was recently certified the world’s largest by Guinness World Records. The lure measures over 12 metres long (or 40 feet, 5.25 inches long) more than doubling the previous record held by a lure in West Texas.

Captured in two minutes with the ZEB Horizon, the data was ready to be viewed within minutes.

Matt had a great time scanning these sites on GeoSLAM’s Big Tour of Canada, and it was made so easy with the ZEB Horizon – “I parked the car, jumped out and within minutes had a fun scan to share with the family and clients alike. It’s been a great way of showing the capabilities of the scanner whilst getting my kids involved”. The Horizon is so easy to use, Matt’s 9 year old daughter is already asking to scan the next attraction by herself. Plus, the dinosaur scan was such a hit it was even picked up by national news site CTV.
