Levitation by Sound?
Remember that physics lab when you had to make standing waves with a Slinky and a jump rope in the school hallway? Change the slinky to a 3-D sound wave and you can pretty much visualize what’s happening here. The wave effectively becomes a surface which can support weight – and be moved. Imagine touch… Read More »
This Video Will Hurt!
I am Definitely Seeing a Trend. Everything is in 3D.
If you had the ability to scan and print in 3D, what would you make first? What would you make a thousand of so you could make a business out of it? This is like large format printing when ink jet plotters became available years ago. The Sense 3D scanner from Cubify. Yet another 3D… Read More »
A Little Colony Art for the Fire Ant Lovers
I recently posted a video showing the excavation of a massive ant colony. That one was filled in with cement. A lot of it. After seeing the arduous effort the team spent uncovering the structure, you can’t help but admire the work of the ants. It looked like a sculpture, quite artistic and clever. Upon… Read More »
3D Scanning in the dark with an iPad?
Move over Kinect. Occipital just one-upped you with Structure. The first 3D sensor for mobile devices. Check out this demo they shot at Ripley’s: One quoted author said it best, “It’s like giving some sort of super power to average-joe devices.” 3D is going mainstream. I won’t go as far as saying basic 2D videos… Read More »

Do You Have Fleet Dispatchers or a Logistics Operation? Watch This About Cheetah!
I’ve been familiar with Cheetah solutions for several years, but recently had the opportunity to revisit their capabilities. Think dynamic route and logistics optimization. Think of doubling the number of drivers each dispatcher can comfortably handle. Think centralized dispatch. Imagine drivers being automatically rerouted without dispatcher intervention based on what they have on their truck.… Read More »
3D HD Goggles with an Immersive HD Movie on the Way! This is REAL.
Some time ago, I was introduced to a 360 degree recording technology from Immersive Media. Take a look at this sample recording of a skier going down a half pipe. You can actually look around as if you were there! They also have demos of a helicopter flyover of a lake. They call it their Telemmersion… Read More »
