MobileFusion is a new application presented by the company Microsoft for the users of iPhone terminals around the world, it being thought in the idea of allowing us to transform an iPhone into a 3D scanner without much effort.
In the video below you can see how the application works MobileFusion those from Microsoft, having a series of special algorithms that scan the images recorded by the iPhone's main camera to create 3D objects that we can later even print.
The application works without an Internet connection, the entire software being present inside it, and with the help MobileFusion 3D objects can be created that developers can integrate including in augmented reality applications or even games for mobile terminals.
What this system effectively allows us to do is to take something similar to a picture, but it's a full 3D object. Everything happens on the phone itself. This is really about the accessibility and ubiquity of 3D scanning. The great starting point was to take a sensor that everyone has in their pocket, which is the camera you have on your mobile phone.
Unlike other similar systems, MobileFusion works with any smartphone on which the application is installed, not needing additional hardware, but for now the software is in development and will be officially presented only in October.
