CHAPEL
HILL, N.C., December 14, 2005
– 3rdTech announced today new automatic and ease-of-use features
for the version 3.2 release of SceneVision-3D, its groundbreaking 3D scene
capture and creation software. Available immediately to current SceneVision-3D
users, the new software incorporates several new capabilities:
-
Wall and corner “wizards” which automatically produce the
edges of a room with all of its dimensions
-
A “viewpoint” tool which provides the precise view of a scene
available to an onlooker at a specific location in or near the scene
-
A camera location tool which automatically displays the camera
location and orientation of any photograph taken with the
Del
taSphere-3000’s
cali
brated camera.
In addition, SceneVision-3D continues to
lead the
ind
ustry in ease-of-use with the following additions:
-
Annotation “links” which connect measurement lines so that if
one is moved, all the linked lines will move.
-
Annotation “layers” which enable making groups of annotations
visible or invisible.
-
“Drag and drop” for all of SceneVision-3D’s supported data
types.
-
One page reference documents, called “Quick Guides”, with
easy-to-follow instructions for SceneVision-3D’s most common tasks including
scanning, model creation and editing, and model analysis.
The DeltaSphere-3000 3D Scene Digitizer
captures millions of 3D measurements and scores of associated color images of a
crime or accident scene. SceneVision-3D v3.1 made it easier to capture a scene
and to create high-quality models. Version 3.2 builds on the earlier
developments making it easier to annotate the scene producing measurements and
viewpoints.
“We believe that 3D-scanning and model
creation is not just for professional surveyors or CAD experts. It’s for
anyone who needs to capture and recreate a scene”, said Nick England,
President of 3rdTech. “This became a reality with the first release of
SceneVision-3D and we’re committed to continue making it faster, easier, and
more powerful.”
SceneVision-3D v3.2 will be shown, for the
first time, at the
American
Academy
of Forensic Sciences’ 58th Annual Meeting, February 20-25 in
Seattle
.
