While we take the precise recording to a 2D space for granted in a photo, think of superimposing another photo over the first one from another view point, then another, and so on.
The ability to snap photos from several points of view and have software create a 3D model is a key technology in ReCap. Imagine biometric data from a 3D scan (that you did yourself and encrypted, of course) that could be sent to a clothing manufacturer for a custom fit.Ī single body scan could result in custom made shoes, suits, more. Half the population of the US (the female half) is not happy with their jeans or how they look in them.
Women could finally get jeans that fit (see below). An aftermarket car car part could be shown on an existing vehicle. A factory would know if a new car model would clear existing assembly line equipment (see Volvo example above). A city could see how a bridge would look in its eventual surroundings (see bridge above). An architect can get a 3D model of the surroundings in which to place a new design. ReCap will use digital photos or point clouds and create what is essentially a 3D photograph.Īutodesk video shows existing landscape with 3D model of bridgeģD CAD model of car heads down 3D scanned assembly line.
