Before the invention of the camera, making an image took hours of work and years of training. Now anyone can do it in an instant. The same thing is happening with duplicating 3D spaces – it used to take a trained 3D modeler days to make a computer-generated scene, but it’s now possible for anyone to do the same thing in minutes. We’ll explore all the amazing things that will happen as a result of this shift.
Matt is a computer vision expert and entrepreneur. His current startup (MatterPort) creates technology that enables anyone to automatically turn the physical world into 3D models with a low-cost 3D scanner. He is passionate about bringing the physical and digital worlds closer together, allowing us to enjoy the advantages of both.
