The post Nine primary coloured products that add a playful touch to spaces appeared first on Dezeen.

There’s a flood of products these days that make creating physical 3D objects from digital images easier and more affordable, but it’s not the same going in the other direction. Transforming real-world three-dimensional objects into their digital representation still involves expensive equipment with complicated operations, locking out many people with creative ideas but meager resources. It shouldn’t have to be that way, of course, especially with the rapid advancements in technology that we’re seeing today. Fortunately, someone finally took it upon themselves to put such capabilities within reach of everyone, creating a 3D scanner that’s not only compact and accessible but also powerful enough to inspire and bring the physical world into the digital realm.

Designer: Revopoint 3D

With all the advancements in imaging sensors in consumer electronics today, it’s puzzling that very few have put those technologies inside 3D scanners that almost anyone can reach for. Of course, there’s more to a 3D scanner than just capturing the physical world, but the foundations are already available, ripe for the picking. The Revopoint INSPIRE 3D Scanner offers a cost-effective, versatile, and powerful 3D scanning solution that tears down the barriers that keep budding creators and hobbyists from completing their dream projects.

How small is the Revopoint INSPIRE, you ask? It’s small enough to quickly shove into your pocket in a hurry and light enough that you won’t even feel its presence there. It’s almost as light as an iPhone 12 mini, so there’s very little reason for you to leave it at home, even if you count the other accessories you’ll want to use with it, like a tripod or the Magic Mat. Despite its modest size, however, the INSPIRE 3D scanner is a heavyweight when it comes to features that almost make 3D scanning feel like hi-tech magic.

Enhanced Marker Tracking – Powered by dual infrared LEDs for extra illumination, intelligent algorithms, and the new Magic Mat’s highly reflective pre-placed markers, the INSPIRE can seamlessly track featureless objects without sticking markers on them.

Bring 3D Models to Life – Dull colors and heavy shadows ruin color scans, so INSPIRE’s RGB camera works with a Flash LED to remove shadows and enrich the colors to create lifelike 3D models.

Create Digital Art – Capture models with INSPIRE, then transform them however you want in 3D modeling software to create something entirely new.

Time-saving Car Modification – Replace out-of-production parts, create modified parts, customize your motor to your heart’s content, and do so without the fear of wrong measurements ruining your hard work.

Game Modding – Transform your favorite games by creating full-color detail-rich 3D models of objects, clothes, equipment, or even your own face.

Smart Stabilization – Equipped with a 9-axis IMU (inertial measurement unit) and intelligent algorithms, the INSPIRE detects and eliminates faulty frames caused by shaking hands or rapid movement, ensuring error-free results and efficient tracking.

It can scan fast at 14 to 18 fps, so capturing an object using the INSPIRE won’t take long. With a 9-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and Revopoint’s self-developed 3D vision technology system, you don’t even have to worry about shaky hands or fast movements because INSPIRE can intelligently stabilize the images it captures on the fly. This compact scanner makes it trivial to scan medium-sized objects, whether manually or by using the included mini turntable. Thanks to dual infrared LEDs providing extra marker illumination, intelligent algorithms, and a specially-marked Magic Mat, you don’t even have to bother with sticking markers directly on featureless objects to make scanning easier.

Get Going Fast – Connecting to INSPIRE is a breeze, with Wi-Fi 6 for fast and stable mobile scanning. And a USB Type-C connection for plug-and-play setup that only requires one cable for power and data.

Despite all the power that it packs inside its pocket-size body, the Revopoint INSPIRE couldn’t be easier to use. The Revo Scan 5 works on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, but you don’t even need a powerful PC to use the INSPIRE 3D scanner and can just hook it up to your phone. You can choose between fast and stable wireless scanning using Wi-Fi 6 or a quick setup with a single USB-C cable for both power and data, and you can see the 3D model taking shape in real-time, right before your very eyes. Revo Scan 5 can export these models as STL, PLY, or OBJ files for compatibility with most CAD, 3D modeling, and slicer software.

Best of all, this small but powerful 3D scanner is starting at only $272 for a Super Early Bird Special, making sure that no one, especially entry-level creators, will be able to create the digital project of their dreams without breaking the bank. Whether you’re scanning objects to put inside a game, replacing out-of-production machine parts, or preserving artifacts and antiques by creating their digital doubles, the Revopoint INSPIRE 3D Scanner has got you covered.

Why is it noteworthy?

Made by a small family-owned Japanese factory that specializes in sheet metal fabrication, the All-in-One Grill is carefully designed to maximize the limited amount of space available, like small grooves on the grill’s frame that keep the skewers in place.

Thanks to this material, you can cook food slowly under low heat, never letting natural juices go to waste and keeping the crispiness of the ingredients inside. And since you don’t have to transfer the food from pan to plate, you can enjoy your meal while it’s warm.

This innovative product harnesses the power of LED technology to provide users with an effective and personalized skincare experience.

It has an ergonomic shape that fits the curves of the face gently, allowing for a relaxing and effective treatment. The mask is studded with an array of LED lights that emit various wavelengths, each with its own set of skincare advantages.

At the heart of the VEAU LED Mask lies advanced LED technology, which has been widely recognized for its remarkable skincare benefits. The mask utilizes three primary colors of LED lights: red, blue, and green.

1. Red Light: The red LED light stimulates collagen production, enhancing the skin’s elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps improve blood circulation, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion.
2. Blue Light: Blue LED light is known for its antibacterial properties, making it highly effective in combating acne-causing bacteria. It helps reduce inflammation and controls sebum production, promoting clearer and healthier skin.
3. Green Light: Green LED light offers relaxing effects that can aid in the reduction of inflammation. It also aids in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even and brighter skin tone. Green LED light treatment is used to cure under-eye circles, sun spots, and dilated skin capillaries.

The adjustable treatment options of the VEAU LED Mask set it apart. The mask has multiple modes, allowing customers to choose their favorite LED light colors based on their unique skincare needs. Individuals can modify their skincare routine to achieve specific objectives such as minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, treating acne, or enhancing general skin texture. It addresses the present storage disadvantage of standard LED masks.

This mask can be folded, allowing the user to wear it comfortably and reliably without having to gaze directly at the LED lights, even if by accident. The mask comes with removable magnet-type eye protection glasses that can be worn depending on the situation and demands of the user. The user’s reliability is ensured by the detachable strap.

The clean minimal style creates a sense of order and clarity, which can have a relaxing influence on the way our minds work and help our skin reflect better. Skincare is typically a type of self-care; this design can assist with relieving anxiety and stress while also promoting a sense of well-being.

In a world where beauty and technology continue to merge, the VEAU LED Mask stands out as a one-of-a-kind breakthrough. Its ability to harness the power of LED light therapy and create personalized skincare treatments is truly transformative. As this extraordinary technology gains popularity, it has the potential to transform the way we approach skincare by enabling people to achieve healthier, more beautiful-looking skin from the comfort of their own homes.
