- _boffin_ 3y agoHaven’t read the article yet, but there’s a lot of old mines in my area and I’d love to build a self exploring drone to map these mines using LiDAR.
- two_in_one 3y agoIt's not a problem today. Check online, there are cheap small ToF lidars. Like the one I bought with 60 degree, 100x100, 15 f/sec. 8 of them will give you all around horizontal view, up and down. 3m range should be enough. Your main problems will be lack of GPS and short flight time.
- two_in_one 3y agoForgot to say, the complexity of this, if you manage to do it, is a solid PhD. At least one.
- _boffin_ 3y agooh hey! a goal to aim for.
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago>Body scanning can be one that can be useful for building 3D apps Oh boy, can't wait till Amazon, Meta and Google can monetize my body and insecurities. /s
- itsyaboi 3y agoWell, it's probably not yet monetized but they almost certainly have the data. Dimensions like gait, gaze, stance, and a hundred other more subtle measurements are being collected via their VR headsets at various levels of anonymity and granularity.
