Why this device?

One challenge of VR and AR is creating assets for the experiences. We are working with educators to 3D scan objects that can be 3D printed or used in VR and AR experiences. This device attaches to an iPad and uses the camera and its ability to sense depth to create 3D objects. Look at some examples here.
