Here’s a failed Kickstarter for a monster gadget. I’m guessing it was a bit too expensive, but the idea is interesting. Could a waterproof mobile phone do the same job?

So I decided to give camera tracking in blender a try, It works really well, setup was easy enough, but the render took forever! 500 frames at 10 samples (Not that many.) took over 6 hours on two different computers (150 on main: ~ 2 hours, 350 on laptop: 4.5 hours.), result is good, but the shadows are not brilliant, still needs some work. (Model used is my bench design for product design.)

This looks interesting and may be a reason for (me) buying a 3D printer.

However not sure how the laser modules work as they appear to be fixed to the device and unmoving yet they manage to cast lines on the target, does this mean the devices have tiny mirrors inside them?

Something I was working on today, not exactly electronics but it is something that I use for visualisations/renders of projects. (Working on making textures photo-realistic) Made with Blender:
