和消息该索尼将于本周在世界移动大会上市推出其最新的3D扫描智能手机技术，我们看看该领域的其他一些进展。
Californian company Scanse has announced a new DIY LiDAR 3D scanning kit add-on to its original 2D scanner – Sweep. While elsewhere in New Orleans, mobile 3D scanning specialist Scandy is developing a 3D object scanner usingGoogle的探戈技术.
Democratizing 3D scanning
正如Artec 3D的Andrei Vakulenko所解释的那样his article on the Future of 3D Printingbringing 3D scanning to the masses will be an important next step for the technology. It is hoped this accessibility will be enabled by an advancement in mobile scanners, which is also the aim of American company Scandy, although the quality of scanned data does not yet match high end professional 3D scanners – yet.
Using Google’s 3D augmented reality software platform, Tango, Scandy has created an object scanning application inside smartphones. Known as Scandy Pro, the application is able to create usable meshes with Tango enabled phones.
However, Sony is expected to have developed its own version of the 3D scanning software which is set to be unveiled at this year’s MWC next week. The technology which uses a depth sensor is expected to be used for facial recognition software.
激光扫描
使用LIDAR技术的3D扫描也正在进步，并且更加容易被更广泛的受众访问。
LiDAR is a technique often used in outdoor scanning例如在建筑中和for自动驾驶汽车. However, the cost of accessing such hardware seems to be decreasing rapidly as Scanse have announced a $350 LiDAR add-on to its original Sweep scanner which also costs $350.
The DIY LiDAR is hoped to put the technology into the hands of makers who are unable to access expensive scanners.
反扫描
In light of advancements in 3D scanning, the Walt Disney Company has最近出版了抗扫描细丝的专利to protect its 3D printed devices.
