After futzing around with a cheap pico projector, a webcam and a little bit of software, [Jas Strong] built herself a 3d scanner. In spite of the dozens of Kinect-based scanner projects, we’ve seen ...

Vadzo depth sensing camera solutions engineered for robotic vision pipelines spanning stereo vision, structured light, and ...

In a recent article, I looked at the demise of Lytro, maker of the first consumer “light field” camera, and what it meant for the future of this technology in mobile devices. As intriguing as some of ...

One of humankind's most important senses for navigating our world is our ability to see in three dimensions (3D), so it makes sense to give our robots the same capability. But how we see may or may ...

Pushing the limits of structured light, applied physicists report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create ...

What are Blue Light 3D Scanners? Structured light 3D scanners, typically mounted on a camera stand, robot, or tripod, function as point-and-shoot cameras and need little or no programming with minimal ...

Researchers have discovered new ways to shape quantum light, creating high-dimensional states that can carry much more information per photon. Using advanced tools like on-chip photonics and ultrafast ...

Looking to scan a specific part, an entire machine, a piece of furniture or even the human body? At Sears think[box], our wireless handheld structured light scanner can scan a wide range of objects ...
