Samsung galaxy note 10 3d scanner


3D Scanning on your Note10+

Have you ever wished one of your inanimate objects, like a stuffed animal, could come to life? With the 3D Scanner app on your Note10+, it's almost possible! This app lets you scan an object and create a 3D model of it. You can even interact with the model once the scan is complete.

Note: The 3D Scanner app is not available on the regular Note10.

Ready to make that physical object into a cool, digital one? It's easy with 3D Scanner and your phone.

The 3D Scanner app doesn’t come pre-installed, so you'll need to be download it first. On your Note10+, navigate to and open the Galaxy Store app. Search for and select 3D Scanner. Tap Install, and once it downloads, open the app.

Allow the different permissions, and then read the tutorial to learn how to scan something. Line up the subject with the circle and wait for it to turn green. When you’re ready, tap the Record icon. Circle around the subject, making sure it stays within the selected area. And make sure not to go too fast.

When you’ve completely circled around the subject, tap the Record icon again to end it. Now you can view your 3D model; use your finger to rotate it and get a good look at it. Then, tap Save if you are satisfied. A gif of your 3D model will be saved in Gallery!

From there, you can use the other options to have fun with your model. For example, tap the Camera icon to take a picture with your model!

Samsung unveils new Galaxy Note 10 model with "instant" 3D scanning capabilities

0Shares

Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy Note 10 line of premium smartphones one of which comes equipped with 3D scanning capabilities. Described as a “groundbreaking first for the Note,” the Galaxy Note10+ is installed with a DepthVision camera, allowing users to scan objects for instant 3D rendering.

Samsung demonstrated the 3D scanning technology at the Note 10 launch event, where it was used to create photorealistic 3D model of a pink plushy named Bobby. At the unveiling, the Samsung presenter explained that the scans can also be used to make copies of the object in a 3D printer.

ToF camera on the Samsung Note10+

The DepthVision camera implemented in the Note10+ operates using Time-of-Flight (ToF) 3D technology. ToF scanning measures the distance between the camera and an object by recording the time it takes for a beam of infrared light to reflect back to the camera. The depth of a scene is then captured and mapped using this pulse of light. 

On the Note10+, the DepthVision camera’s ToF capabilities is limited within a 10x10x10cm by 80x80x80cm radius, and consists of two sensors. In order to utilize the 3D scanning on the Note10+, users are required to download the 3D Scanner app from Samsung.  

During the demo at the launch event, Samsung’s DepthVision camera was used to scan the “Bobby” plush toy by pacing around it. The 3D Scanner app includes a circular guide on the screen, instructing users to keep the item within that area of the phone and helping them point the camera in the optimal direction for a 3D scan. Once the user walks a full circle around the object and captures all angles, the phone produces a 3D model of the object. 

As well as using the scans for 3D printing, they can also be used as movable AR 3D renderings within videos, and can be made to imitate users’ movements with body tracking. You can watch a video of the live demonstration below.

3D scanning in smartphones

In 2015, Google unveiled its Project Tango smartphone that housed Intel’s RealSense 3D scanner. Since then, various companies specializing in 3D scanning have been creating apps and devices to turn your phones into more advanced 3D scanners. New Orleans-based mobile scanning specialist Scandy, for example, has created software that allows users with an external ToF sensor to capture 3D scans on their compatible Android devices. The company used the Tango augmented reality software platform from Google to create the object scanning application for smartphones known as Scandy Pro.

Now, many of the latest and high-end smartphones are being released already installed with ToF 3D scanning sensors. Alongside the Note10+, Samsung has also equipped a ToF camera on its newest Galaxy S10 model, whereas Chinese mobile phone developer Huawei implemented it in its flagship P30 Pro. The next-generation iPhone is also rumoured to have ToF 3D cameras as well.

        The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ camera is ideal for 3D scanning and AR applications

        The war for mobile augmented reality dominance between Apple and its Asian rivals is in full swing.

        Recently, Samsung has expanded the functionality of its new series of smartphones Galaxy S10. The new Galaxy Note 10+ now has a sensitive depth sensor (Depth Sensing Camera like the super flagship S10 5G). It gives the device a number of interesting augmented reality superpowers. nine0007

        Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ at its traditional product launch event. The Galaxy Note 10 has three rear-facing cameras (16MP ultra-wide, 12MP wide-angle, and 12MP telephoto). But the Note 10+ boasts a fourth camera, more specifically a VGA sensor called the DepthVision Camera for depth sensing.

        “Since the beginning, Galaxy Note has stood for the idea of ​​integrating the best technologies and features,” said Samsung CEO Dong Jin Koh. “Galaxy Note10 tailors its capabilities to the needs of the modern Note fan. The user now uses their smartphone to take their productivity and creativity to the next level and seamlessly switch between different ideas and activities at any time.” nine0007

        The default DepthVision camera provides the Note 10+ with several unique augmented reality experiences. First, it can act as a 3D scanner that can create a 3D rendering of an object and turn it into animated GIF content.

        In addition, Samsung has integrated its own AR measurement app called Quick Measure, similar to Google's Measure tool, into the device.

        Finally, Samsung has also introduced AR drawing functionality by combining the capabilities of the new DepthVision camera with the S-Pen. The connected S-Pen stylus has been a hallmark of the Note series since the beginning, along with huge screens on the company's smartphones. The S-Pen now features a six-axis sensor. It can be used with the AR Doodle feature in the integrated smartphone camera app to create drawings and drawings that track physical space and objects. nine0007

        The only drawback of the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ smartphones is their incompatibility with the branded Gear VR virtual reality device (details here).

        Google Pixel 4 also adds a front camera with a depth sensor. Apple is reportedly integrating a similar depth sensor on the back of its next line of iPhones. Everything looks like the world is entering the era of AR smartphones.
