Photorealistic Digital 3D Model Creation

Practical photorealistic 3D capture and display has been an elusive goal since the first stereoscopic viewer was built in 1838. Because of the rapid evolution of digital camera technology over the last ten years, automatic 3D capture and display has finally becoming a practical reality. The current prototype combines our patented omnidirectional stereoscopic camera system with mature machine vision algorithms, standard 3D modeling tools, and current computer video display hardware. We are improving the quality of our 3D output by enhancing camera optics and speeding up image capture. We are also writing custom software to enhance the compatibility of our 3D output with mainstream 3D software like 3D Studio Max, Google Earth, and Google SketchUp.

Since 2003 I’ve been refining the patented 3D-360: an omnidirectional stereoscopic camera system. In this 2007 picture, prototype 3.2 is being upgraded to Proto-3.3.

Currently (December 2008) a much-improved Proto-4B is being built with an ETA of April 2009.
