3D Visualization & Scanning Hardware Overview!

3D technology is becoming cheaper, faster & more ubiquitous !

In the coming years 3D sensor data will create a tidal wave of new spatial information that will fundamentally change construction, design, leasing & marketing activities

…but the raw 3D data is hard to process

What makes 3D data so hard to work with?

CREATION APPLICATION

▶ Expensive & slow to make

▶ Requires special skills

▶ Automation is very hard

▶ Long downloads

▶ Slow on most computers

▶ IE8?!

DISTRIBUTION

▶ Interacting with 3D using 2D inputs?

▶ People who have never used 3D before?

Floored is a 3D data company: Making 3D data easier to create, consume & value

CREATION APPLICATION

▶ Great tools exist

▶ There’s a lot of existing 3D data

▶ Don’t need to 100% automate

▶ Many strategies to deliver content quickly

▶ Many compromises to do so performantly

DISTRIBUTION

▶ Significant demand for web 3D

Our Mission

to massively reduce costs on both creating & consuming 3D data !

to play a role in the digitization of the physical world & to build software to extract intelligence from 3D data !

to enable multiple new apps on top of this data, starting with visualizing and modifying 3D data in the browser

The Product Solution

Digital CaptureOF SPACES THAT DO EXIST 3D Visualization

OF PLACES, SCENES, & BUILDINGS THAT DO NOT YET EXIST

3D VisualizationOF PLACES, SCENES, & BUILDINGS

THAT DO NOT YET EXIST

We are evolving what our customers purchase today !

Marketing, leasing & design activities are dominated by static content that is mostly analog (print flyers, newspaper ads, renderings, etc.)

Our Roadmap

Cheaper Data

COST-DRIVEN

GATHER AS MUCH DATA AS POSSIBLE

Richer Data

VALUE-DRIVEN

MAKE THE DATA AS VALUABLE AS POSSIBLE

We created our own hardware to solve for our customers’ needs. !

It’s inexpensive, competely modular, and provides extremely high-quality data.

Hokuyo Laser Long-range, hyper-precise geometric data

Stepper motor Precision rotation and registration of camera and laser

Nikon DSLR Programmable, high dynamic range photo-graphy

Android Tablet Provides UI, Stores & processes massive incoming datasets

HARDWARE RESEARCH DISTRIBUTION

Cheaper Data !

More automation in our computer vision pipeline (R&D) yields lower cost data.

What’s the best way to iterate on scanner in low-cost way?

After simple architectural 3D reconstruction do we move to detailed elements or other devices?

What’s the most cost-effective way to distribute hardware at the professional, but not industrial, level?
