In addition to the known novelties at Google I / O conference was featured on a really spectacular development of the company PrimeSense – three-dimensional mobile sensor Capri 3D – which brings in the concept of “augmented reality” really impressive features. Also, we can assume that soon to the existing arsenal of boring “features” on smartphones added something new.
In fact, it is a working prototype of the tablet, assembled on the basis of Nexus 10, which can provide real-time and accurately scan the surrounding area, thus creating a three-dimensional object model. Something similar has long been able to do relatively console Kinect (in this case, for both developments is one and the same company – PrimeSense), but here it is a significant decrease in the size and 3D-sensor Capri and a ready-made samples of programs that are able to demonstrate its ability to not only for games.
Ideally, of course, the view of the Capri provides a video journalists Engadget in a dark hallway at Google I / O.
In the video below, the duration of about 8 minutes, shows a number of examples of the use of the sensor, SDK for which one can pick up here.
first demonstrated by a program of augmented reality, allowing on the basis of the constructed three-dimensional model of the room where the interview was taken directly, to build its interior, placing it in a simple drag and various items such as chairs or armchairs – in this case shows clearly that the program is able to calculate the intersection of the virtual chair with the other model objects. More than likely, this is not all.
Between the conversation as can be clearly seen that the sensor is able to detect in real time the movement of people and get the metric characteristics of model objects.
And finally, shows that, in the light of the latest developments in 3D-printing can really serve as a revolutionary impetus to its further development. Standing nearby casket was scanned by a sensor and has been preserved in the form of CAD-file, which can be easily printed on the 3D-printer. Thus, it is easy to imagine a situation where in the near future owner of any Nexus 15, seeing his favorite thing on the counter of the store will be able to get out of the back pocket of his jeans, phone, quickly CAD-file and then send it to a 3D-printing service that will soon receive by mail or pick up yourself some trifle or something even more impressive. And all this without any special expensive and bulky 3D-scanners.
