Capabilities
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
True 360° capture
Full equirectangular at up to 3840×1920 @ 30 fps. On-device stitching — no post-processing required.
Browser-native
No apps, no drivers, no IT approvals. Laptop, tablet, phone — anything with a modern browser.
Sovereignty by default
All data on-board. No internet, no cloud, no data leaving the site. Yours to keep, or push wherever.
Structured metadata
JSON sidecars with GPS, timestamps, turbine/blade/chamber, operator details — ready for your asset-management system.
AI-assisted review
Defect detection over long videos — built on our proprietary internal-blade training library, growing with every inspection.
Gamepad-grade control
Xbox or PlayStation controller for tactile, precise driving. Same input works for review sessions.
Optional · Cloud portal
When you have a fleet, you have a portal.
For organisations operating multiple turbines, Lukan's cloud portal stores inspections, lets reviewers flag findings, generates branded PDF reports, and shares secure read-only views with stakeholders. Same offline-first crawler — add the portal when you need the scale.
