Online shopping has skyrocketed during a pandemic, highlighting its usefulness – and deficiency. Order amazingly comfortable items until you need to know your size, for clothes and shoes. But the volumental aims to solve the last problem by releasing the immediate cellular application for the owner of the iPhone 12 Pro to 3D scan their feet to recommend the right shoe size every time.
And while the volumental mobile application will only be compatible with the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max when it was launched in the coming months, it goes to an iPhone that is longer at the end of the year.
This application is not only intended for consumers – this is basically a mobile version of the volumental proprietary foot scanner has been sold to top-class footwear retailers such as Adidas, Allbirds, Bauer, Fleet Feet, Road Runner, The Athlete’s Foot, and others to install in their store , Employees use Bathmat gray sized scanners with four sets of cameras and sensors that point to the center – to take the detail measurement of the customer’s feet, usually as a consultation to sell the right shape and shoe soles for their physiology and movement patterns.
And we will not have a new mobile application without all data produced by retail scanners.
“One of our strengths, and what made us separate, is that we have scanned nearly 10 million people worldwide with our retail scanner, and we are in 42 countries around the world,” Volumental Co-Founders and CTO Alper Aydemir told Techradar, explaining that connecting all the data for consumer purchases “allows us to understand how each shoe is suitable and what is the best.”
And not just kind of shoes but the difference in shoe size, which can be bigger or smaller in irregular intervals – maybe away from the US 9 to 9.5 is a leap that is smaller than going from 9.5 to 10, which is inconsistency You will not catch unless you have a large data set.
Consumers will benefit from all the data and scan their feet with their own cellphones when the volumental mobile application is launched in the coming months (planned for ‘summer’ or newer in Q2 2021). To start, only the latest iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max cellphone owners can use the latest LIDAR LIDAR applications and other sensors, but compatibility will open up to a longer iOS device until the end of 2021 – and the Android version will follow after that, potentially at the beginning of 2022 ,
Scan legs with the latest iPhone technology
Volumental mobile applications use progress in mobile augmented reality software to add AR markers to scan user feet, then create a 3D model for compared to their database. Finally, the application will open to all models, but they start with the most powerful iPhone on the market to perfect scanning software.
“It has the best CPU, it runs the fastest, so it makes sense to start from there and get everything working very well before you handle everything,” said Aydemir. “That’s what I see in my career is the best strategy: You make one thing working very well before you try to depend on different things simultaneously.”
Before establishing a volumental, Aydemir worked on the Google 3D mapping team for Tango Project, and also worked at NASA on the 3D scanning application for cellphones. His experience contributed to the volumental decision to have his cellular application harness, but it did not depend on, the Sensor Lidar Pro iPhone 12 – which made mobile Arkit software find surfaces for depth scanning much faster, but not general features among older and. fewer premium phones.
In fact, volumental must develop its own Arkit version (which is really not built to scan body parts) to sew with iPhone images down to the accuracy of the sub-millimeter into a 3d foot model – because if the camera position is in fact a little, said Aydemir, the model can not be used.
