It’s for ever and a day grand to make out hardware hacks. This solitary, called 3Dioo, emphatically demoed on stage now next to the TechCrunch Disrupt fresh York 2014 hackathon turns a standard Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone into a 3D capture device — and a viewer, what time used voguish conjunction with a pair of hardware add-ons.
The array on behalf of capturing the 3D is made from cardboard, held collected with a the minority well-placed TechCrunch stickers, with a pause to slot voguish the phone and four mirrors arranged so with the purpose of they split the photo before film footage into two — enabling it to generate a straightforward stereoscopic output, lacking the need to include two lenses on your smartphone.
The captured 3D photos before videos can therefore be there viewed using a out-and-out hardware viewer, which the two-person firm hack duo plus place collected overnight.
The viewer (pictured next to the top of this pillar being checked not in by solitary of the hackathon judges) is made from a lens voguish a $10 look at Master 3D toy, with a pause to slot the smartphone next to the healthy distance from the lens to be there able to look at the 3D.
The viewer looks much like a DIY Oculus crack. Albeit, the output of 3Dioo is clearly a slice with a reduction of immersive — additional pixellated than $2 billion of polished help. But hey, it was place collected voguish 24 hours.
The two person team behind 3Dioo is Oscar Torres (pictured underneath presentation the mirror array), and Candida Hayes. Torres was part of the 2012 Disrupt NY winning hack team, with Thingscription.
“3Dioo is a 3D order on behalf of your phone. It’s a kit,” held Torres, presentation sour the rig in secret. “It’s open to include to be there numerous on behalf of all single phone — so we’re open to include a kit on behalf of an iPhone, a kit on behalf of an robot of numerous types, as of the numerous sizes and numerous cameras.”
“I wanted to prepare something additional real [than the Thingscription software hack],” he added, what time asked how the team came up with the hack. “I’m really interested voguish 3D machinery so what time I axiom this small look at Master I was instantly thinking ‘maybe I can prepare something with this’.”
The hack team has place collected a website with tutorials presentation sour how to knock together the device, and is hopeful to manipulation these ‘open source’ orders to build a the people of DIY 3D enthusiasts.
“There’s the specs there… I devote a link to somewhere you can acquisition a look at Master. And I devote a sample film you can try mechanically,” held Torres.
“I wish for to make out could you repeat that? Community prepare with it. If I make out a slice of leisure pursuit with this — I even incorporated the measurements on behalf of the mirrors — if anybody wants to prepare it, I wish for to make out could you repeat that? Happens. In actual fact making it exposed source, and make out could you repeat that? Sort of attribution happens.”
Sample videos can be there posted on YouTube, which is somewhere the team is hopeful a the people — built sour the back of 3Dioo — might start to build around sharing and viewing DIY 3D.
Torres added with the purpose of he wanted to knock together something down-to-earth, known the constraints of 24 hours hacking — but which still had the promise to build something superior than the sum of its cardboard parts.
“I know from preceding hackathons with the purpose of a number of ideas with the purpose of a slice additional to knock together than others so something like this is so down-to-earth — it’s additional something like the the people, and with a reduction of something like the result,” he held.
“If a the people builds around this we can prepare something with it — emphatically the brand. Kind of like the MakerBot was exposed source but the brand maintained and there’s help voguish with the purpose of. Emphatically as it’s exposed source doesn’t mean you can’t capitalise on that… And the market’s pretty important on behalf of 3D.”
At the same time as well at the same time as being a hackathon veteran (and winner of “a bunch”), Torres plus has a location wholesale startup, called Minerapp. “We’re wearisome to build the Amazon on behalf of locations,” he held of with the purpose of app.
“If you look on behalf of a sign up voguish Amazon you make out the vendors with the purpose of go it voguish our app. On one occasion we follow additional magnitude you’ll be there able to search on behalf of the sign up and make out somewhere around you it is — which provisions are advertising it.”
