- #7 Johnny Lee Google Advanced Technology Group. Project Tango Google initially announced Project Tango along with a 5-inch Android smartphone with a 4MP rear-facing camera, a Fisheye camera that provides an 180-degree depth field of view (FOV), a 5Hz (not megahertz), 320 x 180 camera with a 120-degree view field, and 3D sensors that track over 250,000 3D measurements each second, Google hasn’t given up on the other major mobile device that, when introduced, changed the face of mobile: tablets.

- #9 Digital Surveys have recently completed a project to digitally document the RRS Discovery. Currently the centre piece of the Dundee Heritage Trust visitor centre in Dundee, this iconic vessel famously carried explorers Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first successful journey to the Antarctic in 1901. The last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in Britain, the Discovery has an incredibly rich and culturally significant place in maritime history. To this end the Dundee Heritage trust commissioned a full 3D laser survey of the vessel to document her for posterity.

- #11 Metaio 3D Depth Sensor Support According to Metaio CTO and Co-Founder Peter Meier: “Smartphones and tablets have historically made use of single, “2D” cameras primarily intended for image capture, but as smart devices have become more powerful, we are demanding more and more from the optics of these devices.” Recent announcements from the likes of Google and Intel indicate new devices are hitting the market that can “see” the world in 3D via what are known as RGB-D (red, green, blue + depth) sensors. “With the ability to understand depth information, mobile devices will become significantly more powerful when it comes to Augmented Reality and computer vision tasks”.
- #12 QualcommThe Mobile Development Platform Tablet (MDP/T), based on a Snapdragon™ 805 processor from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., provides application developers and device manufacturers with early access to the highest-performance mobile platform, for developing, testing, optimizing and showcasing next-generation apps and games. Based on a Snapdragon 805 Ultra HD processor with four Krait 450 CPUs, this tablet includes an Adreno™ 420 GPU and the newest Hexagon™ DSP. The tablet also features a 10.06” WQHD (2560x1440) display, 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of high-speed storage and a microSD slot for memory expansion. The MDP tablet runs the Android 4.4 operating system and powerful pre-installed development and optimization software including the Snapdragon Performance Visualizer and a special version of Trepn Profiler™ that displays the power consumption of individual hardware rails. The Snapdragon Performance Visualizer is a suite of software tools for system performance monitoring, profiling and debugging. These tools make it easy to locate and resolve performance bottlenecks, so your applications perform at peak levels.
- #13 Matterport empowers anyone to automatically make 3D copies of real-world spaces and share them online. This fundamentally changes the way people experience their environments, whether for personal memory or professional utility. The company serves direct customers and works with strategic business partners to serve their markets.
- #14 Mantis Vision MV4D develops technologies and products that will bring 3D to every mobile device, home and business. Its software and hardware component solutions, based on its core MV4D “motion capable” 3D range-imaging technology, are designed to enable user-generated content creation (UG3D) throughout the 3D ecosystem. Mantis Vision’s consumer-oriented product offering includes a range of peripheral and embedded UG3D devices. Mantis Vision’s first product to enter the market was the F5 Handheld 3D Scanner, a high-end mobile scanning solution for professional applications. The F5 is used in the medical, industrial, defense, law enforcement, and cultural heritage fields, among others.
- #15 Structure SensorOccipital bills its Structure Sensor ($379) as the first 3D sensor for mobile devices. This small gadget, which clips onto an iPad, provides depth data for true 3D imaging. It can act as a 3D scanner, and there are currently a few apps for the Structure Sensor that let you use the device for scanning and mapping, as well as virtual reality gaming. It's intended largely as a platform and playground for software developers; down the line, when more apps are available, it could have considerable consumer appeal. Anatomy of a 3D Sensor The Structure Sensor is an anodized aluminum device that measures 1 by 4.5 by 1.1 inches (HWD). Our test unit was ice blue; it's also available in silver. It is fastened with four screws to a bracket that fits on the iPad. (I tested the Structure Sensor with an iPad Air; it is also compatible with the 4th generation iPad and the iPad mini with Retina Display. The bracket for each model is different, and you choose the appropriate bracket at the time of purchase.) The bracket has a clasp to lock it in place, and a hole through which your iPad's camera can see and collect data.

- #18 Sky Scary Shelter Turns out, it's just a hoax: a digital billboard created by Sky Austria and Fox to promote the fifth-season premiere of The Walking Dead. The augmented reality "Scary Shelter" is so terrifying because the ad has been superimposed over the actual street. Thus, the zombies really seem to be stampeding the bus stop. It's a trick we've seen before, but . . . zombies.
- #19 Virtual Reality on the Moon - Daniel Shafrir Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a robot which they plan to land on the Moon to act as eyes for Earth-bound space enthusiasts. The project is part of a $30m prize from Google offered to a team that can send video back from the moon. The robot has already been shown to potential investors, including Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart. It works in tandem with an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. The scientists from Carnegie Mellon have teamed up with space firm Astrobotic to compete for the Google Lunar XPrize, which requires a team to land a robot on the Moon, move it 500m and send back video to Earth. Astrobotic Technology, which is a spin-off from Carnegie Mellon, is planning on flying with SpaceX - the private space company set up by Elon Musk - using its Falcon 9 rocket to launch the robot. It is hoped that the rocket will take off at the end of 2015.
- #20 Banshee and Oculus RiftThe future of cinema could be a 360-degree viewing experience if Oculus Rift takes centre stage. The first film has been released that takes advantage of the Oculus hardware, it's called Banshee Chapter. Banshee Chapter itself was originally a horror film for video on demand. It has since been adapted to work with the Rift and was released free on Oculus on Friday. The film was produced by actor Zachary Quinto of Star Trek and Heroes fame. The adaptation was carried out by Jamwix studios which created software that simulates placing the viewer inside the scenes. Since this was an after-thought adaptation it doesn't take full advantage of the Oculus Rift's 360-degree view but is limited to 120-degrees. This is a still a far wider field of view than most films and should offer a more immersive experience. The film is available for free now but only works with the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 and Mac machines. The idea, at this stage, is to show how immersive movies on the Rift can be.
