Cyberware designs, manufactures, and markets equipment for rapid, color, three-dimensional digitizing. Pioneered by Cyberware, this laser- and video-based technology takes only a few seconds to capture the shape and color of solid objects for use on computers.
The easiest way to understand the potential of rapid 3D digitizers is to compare them with the scanners commonly used with personal computers. 2D scanners capture the details of flat objects, such as photographs. The resulting images are used in desktop publishing and a growing number of other applications.
Cyberware digitizers offer a similar function, but for 3D subjects rather than 2D photographs and drawings. Just as the market for scanners has grown dramatically in recent years, the market for rapid 3D digitizers is expanding as users in diverse fields realize the potential for working with computerized models of real-world objects.
