The world's first 3D scanner for iPad win the crowd
The American company Occipital just reveal the Structure â€" the first 3D scanner Sensor in the world for iPad. The project was launched yesterday in crowdfunding platform Kickstarter with the aim of achieving the € 75 thousand (R $ 224 thousand), and only one day has surpassed largely that value.After the boom of 3D printers last year-with impressions of success that included bones and food-, 3D scanners are definitely the next big breakthrough in technology. These devices allow you to capture the dimensions of an object, in order to print an exact replica with a 3D printer.As a rule, these scanners need to be stuck at a desk â€" which is not ideal for capturing objects during travel or other fixed in certain locations. The most affordable portable scanner to date is the Fuel3D â€" also the fruit of a well-financed campaign on Kickstarter â€" which costs €748 (£ 2,243).The Structure Sensor can be even cheaper. It is true that for the use has to have an iPad, but the kit will cost only €260 ($ 783) â€" that can get a discount of € 15 ($ 45) to support the campaign. The device consists of a small aluminum unit with infrared LEDs that fits on the back of the iPad and connects to it through a cable.The device can not only scan a 3D object, like whole rooms, with all dimensions. Also allows users to create augmented realities for games where the virtual world is the real world.According to Inhabitat, LEDs offer night vision to the iPad. And, besides all this, the sensor of the structure features its own battery for four hours, so as not to spend the the iPad.
