Glad to see this posted on Hacker News. I used this for our internal tool and the first time I showed it, almost the whole company were in awe. I made a kind of public version here if you're interested: https://scan-viewer.vercel.app/scans/1 https://scan-viewer.vercel.app/scans/1 Edit: Guess I should explain a bit more about this tool. Our main product is a handheld scanner that can take an individual’s body measurements while they are fully clothed. You take a 360° body scan and get a few point clouds back. This tool is mostly for debugging 3D reconstruction issues. Edit 2: You should open this in a desktop browser. In mobile view some widgets are not showing.

This is cool man,UI and believe the scanner too What is the tech stack you used for UI and the scanner, just curious to understand any libraries out there, if you don't mind sharing any insight please?

If you're need mobile, then try cyber punk like this: https://animationcpu.com/ https://animationcpu.com/

I'm getting "An unexpected error has occurred." after a short loading screen. Let me know if you need more info!

  I had to enable webgl for it to not error

I have to ask, but how does the scanner work - if i am clothed how does it reconstruct my underneath self? Or is it actually penetrating the cloth? BTW - great idea. It has to be the future of clothes shopping

  Yeah the scanner has a radar sensor which can penetrate clothes. We used multiple sensors and developed a "morphing" algorithm to reconstruct the whole body accurately.

What widgets are you using for the gauge and line graph? They integrate in well.

  I use svg-gauge[1] and recharts[2]. I think any libs can do the job, you just need some css with cyan on black background [1]: https://github.com/naikus/svg-gauge https://github.com/naikus/svg-gauge [2]: https://recharts.org https://recharts.org

I'd love to learn more about the company and technology! Using radar is an interesting adaptation. Do you have a site?
- longnguyen 6y ago
  Yes. Here is our website: https://bodidata.com https://bodidata.com

I want to use it all the time for everything, including desktop.

  There's edex-ui for linux systems. (https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui) I've not personally used it so I can't speak to how functional it actually is but it has a very similar feel to it.

What's the elliptic, flat, angled disc near the kidney in the radar reconstruction?
- longnguyen 6y ago
  Ha good catch. I think it's due to an incorrect raw radar point there. This is the reason why we need this tool: to quickly find these issues. There is actually an AR version of this where we have a human-size 3D point cloud - much easier to debug [1] [1]: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iTyFKrZtVDiBrNJx7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/iTyFKrZtVDiBrNJx7

  It seems to be a hidden ninja throwing disc, concealed to avoid airport detection.
- maxerickson 6y ago
  Probably just an artifact. There's a 'radar raw' point in there, if you zoom in it is clearly associated with the disk.

I love the TODO. Awesome loading spinner too, and graph! Now, the frequencies used by the buttons are grating on me with headset on. I wonder if there are free sounds we could use for those. Or, if they could be procedurally generated, so as not to be the same sound every time.
