Hier is milkscanner, een 3D scanner die elke plak van het 3D aftasten met een lepeldaling van melk krijgt!

Milkscanner van Friedrich Kirschner's is een knappe methode om 3D voorwerpen af te tasten die slechts een webcam, wat melk, en een camerainstallatie gebruiken die uit LEGO wordt gemaakt.

Het basisidee is dit: u plaatst een voorwerp in een container, vul oplopend de container met melk, en neem een foto na elke uiterst kleine vullingstoename. De Milkscanner softwaresteen uit het witte deel van de beelden, die in een silhouet „plak“ van het voorwerp voor elke toename in de dimensie van Z resulteren. Elke plak geeft u informatie over de buitenperimeter van het voorwerp bij die diepte die (het voorwerp veronderstelt is convex).

Lol, this has got to be the best DIY project I have seen this year. A white board plotter! I need this as I used my white board a lot but do feel if I had such an automated plotter, I could be doing a lot better at jotting down my ideas more clearly than what is now, simply scrambled jotting.

Well, using the Internet to take a look at the whiteboard isn’t that difficult: just take a webcam and point it at the board. Writing it will be a bit more difficult: there’s something like a plotter needed for that. I’d like the solution to be lightweight: while a completely Borgified whiteboard has its charm too, I’d like to alter mine as little as possible. That’s why I decided to use an idea I saw first at the 24C3: a way of hanging a pen using 2 rubber belts and two motors called a bipod. Problem was that I had no info of that device (I found the youtube-link while writing this article) so I had to work from memory.

This is an “excellent” idea that would go down well with both kids and adults alone, but only if they like the Simpson’s.

Priced at $50

Here’s a cool spy gadget you can get which comes with built-in webcam and MP3 plus the ability to spy on your family. Well…not exactly spying but you can use it security I guess… Preorder one at Amazon.

Nikko and Erector just launched the Spykee Spy Robot, a Johnny-5-esque little fellow that recharges itself and includes a webcam and MP3 player all in a clever little package.

It costs about $299 and let’s you watch your family remotely, ensuring that your domicile will be safe from robo-phobic burglers. It reacts to motion so when someone pops in for a visit the SpyKee can email their picture to you and then burn their face off with huge fiery lasers.

Wow, here’s a cool little hacks for transforming a plain old webcam into a infrared cam.

Here’s a cool ethernet-enabled mechanical hit counter. It seems kind of over-powered using a relay but this can be a great source of information for similar applications.

So, when you ping salem, you’re actually hitting my firewall, which redirects ICMP type 8 (Echo Request) so the board, whose internal address is 192.168.0.2.The BX decodes the ping request and asserts a TTL output high for 50ms. This turns on the transistor, which fires the relay, which cycles the power, which increments the counter. Then, the webcam takes a picture of it every 5 seconds and stores the image in the www directory. Voila!
