What is Lightform? A Projected Augmented Reality device for everyone
Lightform is several sorts of device at once. It’s a scanner, first of all – it scans the environment in front of it to make a highly precise mesh. That mesh is then used to compute where surfaces are and what shapes are needed to project light in a precise, targeted way. Lightform sends a video signal to a projector which then projects the light needed to attain the effect.
The folks who made Lightform – a company that also goes by the name Lightform – worked more recently with Microsoft on Illumiroom.
Lightform suggest the device will go on pre-order “this summer.” When we’ll get the real deal, they suggest it’ll cost less than an average laptop.
