The medical community has a lot of ways to see beneath our skin including MRIs, X-rays, and sonograms. Now, researchers at China’s Wuyi University have created a robotic finger that may offer another way to analyze our human form – by poking and proddi… Continue reading Super-sensitive bionic finger renders 3D images of what lies beneath
Researchers in South Korea have developed an ultra-small, ultra-thin LiDAR device that splits a single laser beam into 10,000 points covering an unprecedented 180-degree field of view. It’s capable of 3D depth-mapping an entire hemisphere of vision in … Continue reading Tiny solid-state LiDAR device can 3D-map a full 180-degree field of view
We wrote up an astounding old use of technology – François Willème’s 3D scanning and modeling apparatus from 1861, over 150 years ago. What’s amazing about this technique is that …read more Continue reading Mommy, Where Do Ideas Come From?
In France during the mid-to-late 1800s, one could go into François Willème’s studio, sit for a photo session consisting of 24 cameras arranged in a circle around the subject, and …read more Continue reading In A Way, 3D Scanning Is Over a Century Old
When it comes to 3D scanning, a perfect surface looks a lot like the image above: thousands of distinct and random features, high contrast, no blurry areas, and no shiny …read more Continue reading 3D Scanning Trouble? This Guide Has You Covered
Readers are likely familiar with photogrammetry, a method of creating 3D geometry from a series of 2D photos taken of an object or scene. To pull it off you need …read more Continue reading NeRF: Shoot Photos, Not Foam Darts, to See Around Corners
There are many scanners — both commercial and homemade — that can take a variety of scans or images of a 3D object and convert it into something like a …read more Continue reading 3D Objects without Scanning
3D scanners aren’t cheap, and the last thing you want to see after purchasing one is bad data. But that’s what [Dave Does] and others were getting from their Revopoint …read more Continue reading Better 3D Scans Through a Slowed Down Turntable
[Scott Rumschlag] wanted a way to precisely map interior spaces for remodeling projects, but did not want to deal with the massive datasets created by optical 3D scanning, and found …read more Continue reading Sub-mm Mechanical 3D Scanner With Encoders And String
We’ve already had plenty of announcements from the Google I/O 2021 developer event happening this week, but Google has also been showing off a 3D video conferencing app that it’s working on called Project Starline.Continue ReadingCategory: Telecommunic… Continue reading Google’s Project Starline is the 3D video chat portal of the future
