Event Focused on 3D Sensing, 3D Processing & 3D Visualization Starts Monday April 3rd in Houston
March 29, 2017 (Portland, Maine, USA) – With the start of SPAR 3D Expo & Conference just five days away, event organizers have announced new and exciting developments to enrich the attendee experience and enhance their understanding of the technical capabilities of the latest product innovations. While live demonstrations and interactive workshops have always been a part of SPAR 3D Expo & Conference, this year’s event stresses hands-on learning like never before. In-booth demonstrations, in-session demonstrations and dedicated areas on the exhibit floor have been developed in response to attendees’ requests. The event will take place April 3-5, 2017 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Houston.
The following demonstrations are taking place at the event:
Crime Scene & Common Scanning Challenges – Live Demonstrations of 3D Technologies
SPAR 3D Expo & Conference is partnering with the International Association of Forensics and Security Metrology (IAFSM) to demonstrate how innovative 3D technologies are being utilized. Integrated into the crime scene will be common scanning challenges such as black, white and reflective surfaces.
Accident Reconstruction
A new addition to the show floor this year, IAFSM will bring a crash vehicle for demonstrations of Accident reconstructions. One side will be un-coated and the other will be prepared with a light coating to facilitate better scanning. Presentations of accident reconstruction demo results will be presented by IAFSM and vendors.
Virtual Reality (VR) – Immersive Participation Room
Uwe Woessner of Stuttgart University will be demonstrating 3D VR projection with head tracking in a dedicated room on the exhibit floor that will be open for the duration of the event.
