Alex ordered a Brand New iPad Pro 2020 when he got back from working in Alberta and it arrived today! He is like a kid on his birthday with a new toy! (Wait, he IS a kid on his birthday with a new Toy!)
It has a LiDAR scanner/camera. The LiDAR scanner's data is crunched together with data from cameras
and a motion sensor, then "enhanced by computer vision algorithms on the
A12Z Bionic for a more detailed understanding of the scene". In other
words, it can be used to build 3D scenes for doing things like floor plans and other cool stuff! If you have watched some of those home renovation shows where they take out walls and add new cabinets, paint and flooring, you are looking at what LiDAR can do.
Her is our first LiDAR image of the living room.
This image does not look like much, but you can rotate it and color (like change the wall colors to try out a different paint) you can also have it look just like a 3-D photograph of the living room!
This is right up Alex's alley for the things he does in construction. This was our first attempt so it does not look that great, but we do want to do some renovations and this will save us a ton of money as we can remove our kitchen cabinets and add different ones from different manufacturers to see if they fit, and choose what colors we want.
Another cool thing the Lidar does....
An App that Alex installed had a moving Spiderman that he had dancing around Cinnamon on the iPad screen!
He also installed 2 graphic/art applications I really want to try for some Caturday Art!
Now Here is the picture of Jo Jo that Mom took of her in the Cat Tree and added to the LiDAR as it did not pick up the cat tree too well! She has kindly consented to be the Feline for feline Friday!
She was a most beautiful long haired lady cat with GORGEOUS green eyes! She has not been feeling to well and went over the Rainbow Bridge where Wally met her. The Lady with the Yellow Hair and the Nice Guy and Ernie are missing her (as we all are). We send her family Love, Purrayers and Strength!
Feline Friday is sponsored by Comedy Plus, click the button to be magically taken to the Linkies!
That LiDAR thing could be helpful to my human as she designs the upstairs area you never see on my blog!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm sure Alex will have fun with his new "toy" ! We love the photo of cutie pie Jo Jo. She looks quite happy right where she is. So very sad about beautiful Zoey at Island Cats. Things like that are always such a shock to EVERYONE...and so very sad too.

ReplyDeleteoooooooohhhhhhh, this geeky gal is a wee bit drooly at Alex's new toy; tho' never an Apple gal, I have to say I've peeked at this and am a bit knee-wobbled... waaaay out of my budget though. For now.
Hi JoJo - looking suitably relaxed there galcat!!! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Ohhhh yay for Alex and his new techie toy.
ReplyDeleteDon't faint but I stepped into the 21st century for my birthday. I have a Kindle now. I will admit the purchase was prompted by my extreme case of germaphobia and love of reading. No way was I going to check out a library book.
Hugs Cecilia
What a fun app. Dad used to be all into new tech and then somehow dropped out years ago. Anyhoo thanks for sharing this. Cool.
ReplyDeleteWe are shocked by Zoey. Thanks for letting us know we stopped by to give our purrs
That iPad Pro sounds super cool and we're glad Alex is having fun. We were very sad about dear Zoey too.
ReplyDeleteWow that way cool. You'll have fun for sure.
ReplyDeleteWe are also sad about Angel Zoey. She was indeed a very beautiful lady cat.

The new iPad with the LiDAR sounds like you both will have lots of fun with it. That is a lovely picture of JoJo. I was very sad to hear about Zoey too.
ReplyDeleteThose apps look like fun!
ReplyDeleteWe are very sad to hear about dear Zoey :(
That's super cool!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. Love the Spiderman photo. I have noticed every HGTV show insists on removing walls. And Jo Jo is a perfect addition to Feline Friday. XO
ReplyDeleteApple makes great mobile devices! The iPad is very cool. I have an older iPad Pro (2017) that I love! It still works beautifully, too. *knock on wood* The interactive apps you can get these days are super cool and they don't cost an arm and a leg. Stay safe, be well, and keep warm! It's freezing here today. Brrr!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun toy!
ReplyDeleteA cool, new toy to play with, yippee!!!
