Chronoptics 3D Ranged Imaging

Time of Flight technology has recently become a hot space with the launch of the first 3D gesture recognition applications such as Microsoft XBox's Kinect platform and many other big name companies looking to compete. The technology works by projecting light on to a scene then measuring the time it takes for the light waves to return. With this data a 3D scene can be reconstructed in real time.

Objective

WaikatoLink is in collaboration with some of the world's leading companies in this space. However there are opportunities for the Chronoptics team to apply these emerging and cheap 3D imaging technologies to a range novel commercial applications for which further collaboration is sought
