3D scanning

[CKwik240]

So it doesn't seem to be heavily covered, but apparently the note 10 is capable of 3D Scanning. I hope it's decent. I'd love to churn out things on my 3d printer. I'm already thinking of designing a simple table with a rotating arm that holds the phone to improve it's accuracy. Could make making parts or even analyzing dimensions of physical parts really easy.

That would be tricky because it would need either an app from Samsung to export to CAD or an API for 3rd party apps to use the 3D scanning feature. I, too, found it pretty cool (same with the S-Pen drawing AR), but it seems that, at least for now, they're doing this for AR emoji unfortunately.

At the unpack event they mentioned that you could use it with a 3D printer.

i was impressed by the 3D functions, its nice, and hopefully get more uses in the future

Oh, did they? Missed that. But let's see if that's an actual feature or something that's up to devs like how SPen features were promised and devs just never implemented or the EKG from the watch that is still deactivated even on the original Active

I read it as being able to scan for 3D printing. But I'd be interested to see how they implement it. 3D scanning isn't always perfect and may require some manipulation in 3D software. I'm guessing they are using the time of flight sensor. I wonder if they can implement this on the S10 variants.

Sex toy sales will go up because of this LOL

I was taking to my coworker about this and he said his Sony phone does it do I tried it out. It's a bit cumbersome to use but it was picking up a lot of points on a soda can. I think at the very least you need to put the object on a stool or pedestal that you can easily walk around. We'll see how well Samsung implement this, but I'm definitely thinking I may design and build a rig to hold my phone and let it swing around a pedestal. It may require elevating it too. I was too unsteady trying to scan it on the corner of a conference room table to get it to complete the scan. But if the resolution is pretty good, this could be a ton of fun.

You can come to this task from the opposite direction. Many 3D scanning fans know about automatic turntables (a small platforms with various rotation systems, and bluetooth connection) that allows to scan without having to walk around the object with a 3D scanner or camera. Something like that or some fans even build DIY turntables

Sure, but it appears the phone uses the accelerometers and gyroscopes to determine it's positioning around the object. A rotating deck would require some way of communicating the turntable position with a certain level of precision. I doubt the existing software would have the ability to do this.

But what if you put your phone on a tripod or something and just scan the rotating object every few seconds?

Have you tried using it? It's a continuous scan. You pretty much have to walk the phone around the object. If you rotate the object, it probably won't be able to make sense of it as the phone isn't receiving any coordinate mapping. The phone's accelerometers and gyroscopes are likely providing this data when walking the phone around the object.
