Thomas Stouffer Visual Prototyping Final Presentation
Research Proposal General Question: How can 3D scanner technology be used to explore or conceptualize space?
Space Team Investigation Sloan Digital Sky Survey • Multi-color photos used to create a 3D map • 2.5 meter telescope, 120 megapixel camera • 3D Sky Map
Research Proposal (Cont.) Refined Question: How can 3D technology accessible to the general public be used to explore and/or conceptualize space?
Brainstorming Panoramic Ball Camera High Altitude Weather Balloon Camera
3D Modeling • 4 camera array • Ball joints for adjustable lens angle
Rapid Prototype/ Final Concept • A multiple camera array attached with ball joints for adjustability. • Video and pictures stitched from 4 cameras for 180 degree panoramic
Future Development • Add more cameras • Reduce size • Create enclosure for system • Add auto capture function, GPS
