Inspired in one place and designed in another? Stay and appreciate or leave and create? The artist’s crisis. No more laptops or having to carry a tablet or even sit down. The complete, Omnilux set literally gives you the capability of digital drawing at your fingertips, the computing and rendering power of tomorrows smartphone technology and seeing through the lenses 2D and 3D scanning. With this you can become a designer on-the-go and be ready to capture and create.
What innovations can make this possible?
How does it work?
1. Activate wrist piece, via power button or unlock. The hand will not need to be turned on.
2. Test on a surface to ensure the hand, the wrist and glasses are all in synchronization. The view can then either remain in the focus of the glasses laser grid, or a “snapshot� of the picture can be taken. All of the movement will be tracked, recorded and displayed on your wrist piece. Calibrate sensor grid by turning on glasses via power buttons on either side. It can be set to 3D scan or rasterization into 2D. 3. Start drawing. Once a frame is locked, the settings can be switched so that the grid is no longer referenced by the glasses, but as a fixed image save on your wrist piece. You then hold your wrist piece at an easy point of view and use alternately, or synchronously to your advantage. 4. Build your library by saving what you find, or what you design. If the grid is locked then the hand module no longer needs to be looked at as all your motion will be rendered onscreen. A setting can then be activated on the back of the hand piece to switch to texture mapping, by tracking the texture of whatever you touch. By taking the time to scan an object a data library can be built of textures and materials for later use. Store it for later on the cloud or memory plugin.
What do the parts do? Input Design 1.0
The initial design of the Omnilux, this design has a futuristic look to it, incorporating inspiration from the medical field with a touch of futurism. This was ultimately changed to the homage toward Wacom style design after completing the 1.0 model in Solidworks.
