I would love to understand how it would be huge for your line of work just out of curiosity - my mind was BLOWN the first time I tried this. In terms of getting it to work you can with the Structure Sensor, import the mesh in Unity 3d, drop

I anticipate all sorts of crazy digital-rights management battles ahead for 3D objects like this - including art - but even more on likenesses / people / etc. Roughly a year ago I bought a structure scanner (1) for my iPad, scanne

When it comes down to differentiation what do I care about if a robot is driving me around? Safety. Period. The equation to get to safety is sensors + computing + map / map geometry. The sensor differentiation will matter for a while,

I am genuinely curious how anybody gets a pass for operating two massive private luxury yachts that are the antithesis of ocean conservation. His operating costs on just the larger one are estimated at up 400k a WEEK. He spent 200m+ to buil

Fer goodness sakes, it's not like he was insensitive to the delicate ecosystem - I mean the guy just brought his small yacht - the Tatoosh (303ft) - not the big one (the 400+ ft Octopus)! The way you people are carrying on youd think w
