Where Fusion and ReconstructMe were limited to mapping small areas in 3D – a tabletop, for example, Kintinuous allows a Kinect to me moved from room to room, mapping an entire environment in 3D.
When we first learned of Kintinuous, we were blown away. The ability for a computer with a Kinect to map large-scale areas has applications as diverse as Google Street View, creating custom ...
Some of the studies describe 3D maps of the cells — known as cell atlases — in tumours, whereas others create ‘molecular clocks’ that trace the cellular changes that lead to cancer.
Thousands of tiny robots have helped scientists create the largest-ever 3D map of the universe. The universe is expanding all the time and this map measures how fast it's grown over 11 billion years.
