Infrared 3D scanners have been used in video games for quite some time. Whereas in video games the scanners are, for example, only able to identify if a player throws his arms up in the air while playing virtual volleyball, the new 3D scanner of Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering is able to be much more precise. With a resolution of 1 million pixels and real-time data processing, numerous applications are possible with this new device.
“The measuring technology works in a similar way to human vision. However, instead of 2 eyes we are using 2 near-infrared cameras,” Stefan Heist from Fraunhofer IOF explains...
