- seltzered_ 4y agoWhile we're talking about HP, it's also worth noting the HP Sprout PC they tried from 2014-2017 that facilitated projecting (and then 2d/3d scanning content) on a 'touchmat': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprout_(computer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprout_(computer) , https://youtu.be/GZMeY8leQBM?t=137 https://youtu.be/GZMeY8leQBM?t=137
- zwieback 4y agoThe best part of Sprout was the "turntable", which allows auto-positioning an object at various angles relative to the structured-light 3D camera. I was able to snag a couple and use them with our other 3D acquisition systems.

There are plugins for using generic MIDI controllers (for musical instruments) that have knobs, sliders and buttons. Then there are also dedicated controllers that do basically the same thing, but with specialised labels on the controls.
