It is a popular exhibit in the Autodesk Gallery in San Francisco, where over 20 cameras will turn your likeness into a small head and shoulders bust. REALVIZ surfaced first in 123D Catch which is now ReCap.ģD photobooth at the Autodesk Gallery uses ReCap will create a 3D photo REALVIZ founder Dominique Pouliquen moved to the SF Bay Area and now integrates the technology into Autodesk products. Luckily it's all handled by the software, all "under the hood."Īutodesk acquired this technology (known as photogrammetry) in the form of REALVIZ, a small company it found in the south of France which it bought it for an undisclosed sum. The thought of having to sort out millions of pixels in 3 dimensions is enough to give me a headache. The more the better, actually, in terms of accuracy.

A photo shoot to capture an object in 3D could have 30, 40 or more photos.

While we take the precise recording to a 2D space for granted in a photo, think of superimposing another photo over the first one from another view point, then another, and so on. The ability to snap photos from several points of view and have software create a 3D model is a key technology in ReCap. Imagine biometric data from a 3D scan (that you did yourself and encrypted, of course) that could be sent to a clothing manufacturer for a custom fit.Ī single body scan could result in custom made shoes, suits, more. Half the population of the US (the female half) is not happy with their jeans or how they look in them.
