Contour not only has full computing capabilities to easily and accurately capture real world
spaces, it can be used to review files, adjust parameters, and reprocess raw data. It also
performs post-processing data functions such as sharpening, loop closure, and floor plan
generation.
Like any computer, it works with external devices. You can connect the included wireless
keyboard and mouse (or a wired keyboard and mouse), using the USB 3.0 hub or the USB
3.0 port directly. Google Chrome browser is installed and can be used to upload data.
For demonstration purposes or group work, Contour can also connect to a TV or monitor
using Google Chromecast and your local Wi-Fi network. See Appendix II for more
information.

Press and hold the
Power On/Off
button on the left side of Contour, until you see the
button illuminate blue indicating power has been turned on. Contour takes about a minute
to fully boot up and be ready for scanning.
When the device boots, the Contour User Interface (UI) automatically opens. There is also
a Kaarta desktop icon to reopen the interface if it is closed (Figure 3).
