A few years back, Occipital released a sensor that turned your iPad into a portable 3D scanner. Called the Occipital Structure, it packed lasers and cameras into a snap-on package that let the iPad be used for anything from accurately measuring a room’s dimensions to building 3D models for building prosthetic limbs. The catch? For […]

This 3D sensor will let almost any product ‘see’ the world down to the millimeter
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.
The hardware onboard includes two main cameras: a 160-degree Field of View or an 85-degree Field of View RGB camera. The first allows for more detailed tracking, while the second enables color imagery. Which one you use for any particular task comes down to use case. Read more…

Sensors are growing more and more sophisticated as we build machines that can interpret the world with more precision than we can. Occipital is aiming to do this as effectively and cheaply as possible as it morphs its 3D scanning technology into …
