Skanery 3D - まるでコンパクトなKinectのよう。 iPad装着タイプの3Dスキャナーが登場する?!
スマートフォンやタブレットなどの技術の進化が著しい。ここで紹介するハードウェアはiPadに装着して利用するというもの。機能としてはKInectのようなイメージで、3D認識が可能になる。40センチから3.5メートルの範囲をスキャニングできるというから、様々な用途で利用できそうだ。立体物をスキャニングして、データ化することにより、3Dプリンターでの出力もできるようになるだろう。また、スキャニングした3Dデータを拡張現実や仮想現実のソフトで利用することもできるだろう。
Capture models of rooms, 3D scan objects, play augmented reality games, and develop mobile applications with 3D sensing.

The Structure Sensor uses two cameras and an infrared LED that provides a uniform infrared light to capture the most accurate structure data it can — even in the dark. It connects to your iDevice using the Lightning connector, but it won't drain its battery: the sensor has its own on-board power supply that, designer Occipital claims, has over 1000 hours of standby. And it has a good range, too: from 40 centimetres to 3.5 metres, meaning you can 3D model an entire room.Its potential uses aren't just limited to 3D printing, either. You can map spaces for architectural or interior design purposes, or use it to create 3D models for games, either wholly digital or augmented reality. And for developers, it allows you to build mobile applications that interact with 3D geometry. All 3D models can be exported directly to CAD or uploaded to Shapeways for 3D printing.Head over to the Structure Sensor Kickstarter project page for more information.
