| Structure sensor added to iPad |
There was a high level increase in the development of advanced applications that can used along with mobile devices. Now there is another good news for the mobile users. San Francisco-based company focused on computer vision-based applications launches the first-ever 3D sensor for mobile devices on Kickstarter.
Until now 3D scanning hasn't been mobile. But introduction of this product changes the entire concept of 3D scanners. Once this product is attached to a mobile device, the Structure Sensor will enable exciting new possibilities for mobile 3D applications including 3D scanning of objects and people and indoor 3D mapping for rapid measurement and modelling of interior spaces. If you are a developer, structure gives you the ability to build mobile applications that interact with the three dimensional geometry of the real world for the very first time. You can even launch you app on the App store.
The Structure Sensor has a mobile-optimized range that begins at 40 cm and stretches to over 3.5m. It is battery powered and provides up to 4 hours of active use, and 1000+ hours of standby. The dual infrared LEDs allows you to capture the world in infrared- a night vision to your iPad. Really interesting, isn't it? :D
The Structure Sensor enables completely a new set of mobile applications, including:
- 3D object scanning for 3D content creation with no knowledge of CAD required.
- 3D mapping of indoor spaces for instant measurements and virtual redecoration.
- Body scanning for fitness tracking and virtual clothes fitting.
- Virtual reality games using 3D environments imported from the real world.
- Augmented reality games where virtual objects interact precisely with the geometry of the physical world, including occlusions.
Currently, the Structure Sensor support iPad (4th generation), but the team says that it can stream data to any iOS device that uses the lightning connector - such as iPhone 5, iPad mini etc. For an android device, you may need the applicable USB OTG adapter. The company will also provide an open 3D CAD model for a starter bracket that you can adapt to work with your device and then 3D print.

I'm certainly not an expert, but I'll try my hardest to explain what I do know and research what I don't know. I would love to hear your thoughts! Be sure to check back again. I would certainly reply to your comments :)
