Real-Time 3D Imaging

Ames Laboratory scientist Song Zhang explains his real-time 3D imaging technology. The technique can be used to create high-resolution, real-time, precise, 3D images for use in healthcare, security, and entertainment applications.

00:00:09 the system look like up in my eyes so with you know wank the projector at as when I and the camera adds another I so you perceive the 3d ceiling in the real world through twice let's see essentially how it works so you can imagine you know I have two eyes and I see some object at a certain distance and the suddenly you're prone reconstruct us to the image here the

00:00:34 software use your brain oh this can be applied in many many fields you can be applied in medicine and attainment manufacturing scientific studies many many always you know currently the web you know you do it using web camera and do the cheating and your parents or your friend you can see you remotely and in the future can be applied to the kind of web camera with 3d and your friend can

00:01:01 you see your 3d face or through the body because our natural world is really and the in order to see this really we have to be able to capture it you know in other words have a sensor to see thus reducing the into the computer so this is a very important in you know in many many ways and also suddenly in scientific studies you know a lot of times we you know current conventional

00:01:25 capture 2d but actually our real world is ready and if you can capture 3d now seeing the will change
