Here’s a timely update on last week’s 3D Document
Camera Post. Last week I was at InfoComm 2102 and was able to see the new
Lumens 3D document Camera up close and in action. I also found another 3D
document camera hitting the market, produced by Wolfvision. Here’s what I
found:
Lumens 3D Ladibug. The form factor is attractive and the
visualization quality, using a DLP ultra-short throw projector was stellar. This
unit will retail in the $700+ range and is well worth the money. Although aimed
at the K-20 education market, the quality of image is stunning. It should fit
anywhere.

WolfVision 3D Document Camera. This 3D document camera is ceiling mounted and
designed for industrial and advanced medical applications. The model shown was just released and retails
for around $30,000. The sales rep was not able to demonstrate it well or answer
simple questions about application, so I ended up explaining how it could be
used to several University passersby. I also showed the sales rep how this
technology is best viewed 10+ feet away, not up close, as they were doing. The
latency on the document camera was quite significant, but I expect they will
improve upon this problem in future updates.
