Tumblr 33 hits App Store with new camera, photosets

After a full refresh of its iOS app and full-on iPad support, Tumblr’s trying to keep the updates coming for the Apple set with version 3.3.

Other attributes consist of the capacity to produce photosets right from the app, double-tap posts to such as and quickly alter your avatar or include URLs. The latter will seek the title of a guide when you kind in the web address– constantly a benefit on a site where pop culture references stream like water.

MakerBot unveils prototype Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner, promises easier 3D printing

Image

Well, that was quick. Bre Pettis just started delivering South By Southwest’s opening remarks and may well have taken the wraps off the biggest news of the show. Of course, we’ll still have to hang out in Austin for a few more days just to, you know, totally make sure, but this really does feel like a doozy. As the MakerBot CEO puts it, “It’s a natural progression for us to create a product that makes 3D printing even easier” — but, let’s be honest, few of those who don’t have a vested interesting in moving some 3D printers are running around calling the whole process particularly “easy.” And while consumer-facing devices like the Replicator, CubeX, Solidoodle, et al. have gone a ways toward making the technology more accessible for laypeople, there’s still a fundamental breakdown: the creation of models to be printed.

The maker community has helped on that front, as well, with MakerBot’s Thingiverse serving as an unparalleled resource for 3D images, meaning that, once your printer’s all set up and calibrated, you can download and print to your hearts delight — but what if, say, you want to print up something that some kindly soul hasn’t designed for you? You could learn a CAD program — or you could invest in an industrial 3D scanner. The latter option has lead to something of a land rush of companies and individuals looking to break things wide open with an affordable, consumer-facing offering. And while MakerBot still seems a ways away from the final product, the company used SXSW as a platform to unveil a prototype of its MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner.

Fits.me Finally Shipping A New Robot That Makes It Easier To See What You’re Going To Look Like In That Suit

fitbot01

As a fat, idle blog writer, I find myself commonly buying garments online just to discover that XXL for a developer in Spain is essentially a XXS for babies in America. The resulting form and return costs were enough to drive me to interruption – till I saw this wild robot call the FitBot.

The robotic – which is at last in development – essentially takes your measurements and reproduces them in real time. Got a huge old tummy and broad shoulders? FitBot will certainly show you what that shirt will certainly resemble on you. It can easily reproduce up to 2,000 body permutations and can easily be used by, say, an online shop to show exactly what a particular shirt will resemble on several individuals.

Barring some kind of live webcam feed, the way stores might utilize this is to take a shot of every feasible permutation on the FitBot dummy. Then, when you advise the shop exactly how grotesque you are (or, in the situation of everyone besides me, sturdy), the FitBot directory will certainly spit out the proper image.

No work on accessibility yet in actual stores however you can easily see the technology over at fits. me where it ’ s being offered to retail stores. I, for one, welcome our golden clothes-fitting robot overlords.
