The combination of electronics, semiconductors, IC, sensors, and 3D printing has now allowed human civilization to create a breakthrough new recording technology：OK360TM (Object Kapture 360°). Etron Technology's R&D team has pioneered the new 360-Degree "ThingCapture™" technology：the "OK360TM" Machine (Object Kapture 360°) which generates lifelike virtual reality environments, capturing and re-creating 3D objects, and preserving memories for the ages.
After many years of R&D, human technology has now reached the point where people can have affordable personal electronic devices which can capture experiences, loved ones, and things to be savored again in the future.
Under the leadership of Dr. Lu, Samuel, Dr. Wu, and Dr. Lin, Etron Technology's teams in Taiwan and the USA have finally been able to unlock the door to this long-held dream: a true breakthrough in physics and technology for "ThingCapture™". With the fast speeds, deep integration, and reduced costs of semiconductors and ICs, Etron has dramatically raised product quality levels to allow people to "ThingCapture™" their treasured experiences and objects.
Dr. Lu said, "Not only does this breakthrough give Etron exciting new products and milestones, it also provides users a great way to ensure experiences and memories stay with them forever! I hope that global technology experts will rapidly do R&D in this area to develop it further. Just as the 'Pod' allows users to create their own handheld music library and the 'Pad' allows users to capture and share images and videos, our 'ThingCapture™' technology allows users to digitize objects in 3D and then, through 3D printing, to re-create those objects and embrace those associated memories. This is a new killer application to be added to the four major technology trends, 'Internet of Things', 'Scan & Print', 'Wearables', and 'Big Data'. Now you have an affordable way to capture physical items in 3D and to digitize, save, re-create and share them with your friends and family!"
Please experience Etron's new "ThingCapture™" technology at ThingCapture@YouTube, ThingCapture@Facebook, www.etron.com.tw, including the "OK360TM" (Object Kapture 360°) machines, so you can personally view the launch of a new "ThingCapture™" era. Etron hopes to inspire you to accelerate efforts in this area together with Etron and share this exciting technology further with the public. Now human civilization will have a new recording technology, in addition to scanning, photographing, videoing, and printing: "ThingCapture™" is here!
The "ThingCapture™" ICs and platform will be showcased at the International CES in Las Vegas on January 6 to 9, 2015. "OK360TM" machines will also be tested in situ at the CES. eSP870 ICs have been produced in volume. The end products will be launched in the 3rd quarter of 2015, making for the most exciting Christmas gifts next year
