Back in 2013, Occipital made waves with a 3D mapping sensor for the iPad.

Flash forward five years and Occipital is back with a new 3D sensor — this one a standalone product. The Structure Core is packed with all the tech it needs to map an environment with a high level of accuracy. Even better, it’s still very compact and can fit in the palm of your hand.

Don't just the Structure Core by its size.

How Facebook’s new 3D photos work

sudshr47 June 7, 2018

In May, Facebook teased a new feature called 3D photos, and it’s just what it sounds like. But beyond a short video and the name, little was said about it. But the company’s computational photography team has just published the research behind how the feature feature works and, having tried it myself, I can attest that the results are really quite compelling.
