In the early aftermath of the fire at Paris’ historic Notre Dame cathedral last month,…
The myth of accuracy in 3D capture (and the value of SLAM-based handheld lidar)
Accuracy specs are the most important thing to look at when you’re buying a new scanner… right?
Matterport Cortex gets quick 3D from 360° photos using AI and computer vision
A $400 camera is all you need to enter the age of computational 3D sensing.
Why the iPhone X is the perfect smartphone for 3D volume measurement
The iPhone X is setting a new standard for photogrammetry–but not for the reasons you think.
VanGogh’s new 3D capture app for the iPhone X active sensor
VanGogh Imaging is the latest company to exploit into the iPhone’s active sensor.
Super-realistic 3D scans for AR/VR using a smartphone camera with flash
AR/VR models need a lot more than high accuracy to look realistic.
Scandy: Apps that test the limits of iPhone 3D capture (and volumetric video)
Scandy’s latest app uses the iPhone’s TrueDepth active 3D sensor to scan in 3D, but the company has a lot more up its sleeve (including a forthcoming 3D video app).
Kaarta’s Stencil 2 release offers a lot more than a new compact mobile lidar
Though the changes include the kinds of updates you might expect—better hardware, improved accuracy, easier workflow and so on—the updates to the UI and processing are the real stars of the show.
Why AR and VR need photogrammetry
AR and VR technology present new market opportunities for photogrammetry companies. Photogrammetry can bring the accuracy needed for VR models and AR objects to be presented on top of the physical environment.
