HP Arize

An iPad app to print custom 3D foot orthotics.

Problem

The client was looking to develop a mobile tool to automate the production of custom-made foot orthotics.

The client was developing the Arize project to deploy 3D printed foot orthoses using their technologies and their network of American clinicians.

HP was looking to develop an automated end-to-end solution with modern native mobile tools.

To print a plantar orthosis with a 3D printer, it takes several resources, including precise measurements of the customer’s foot, as well as the specific foot problems to be solved by the orthosis.

Capturing its measurements and adjustments is typically very manual or done with high-end 3D scanners.

Solution

We have developed an iPad application that connects to Occipital's 3D Structure Sensor scanners.

To optimize the tools in the hands of clinicians, we have developed a native iOS mobile application that interfaces with the 3D Structure Sensor scanner from Occipital and with the TrueDepth Sensor from Apple in order to make precise 3D scans of the feet.

Clinicians can also manage their order books via the app, as well as document their clients and each orthosis.

“It’s amazing the results you get when you mix Occipital’s 3D scanner with an iPad mobile app. The two combined make cutting-edge technology simple and accessible.”

iBrace

iBrace

Precise body scanner app to increase the productivity levels of medical professionals.

Problem

The client wanted to market custom orthotics using a body scanner app that was both efficient and financially accessible.

The client wanted to develop a tool for health partners to easily digitize joints.

The goal was to find a less expensive and more accessible alternative to scanning booths while remaining easy to use for partners.

The 3D renderings had to be precise enough to be directly transmitted to the production team to make custom orthotics.

Solution

We have developed a body scanner app for iPad based on the technology of Occipital’s structure sensor. This tool can generate accurate measurement files of different parts of the body and joints.

The 3D Structure Sensor scanner has allowed us to develop an intuitive, efficient and flexible application at a lower cost. The application, developed initially to scan joints, has evolved and now allows the scanning of multiple body parts (spine, plexus …).

The files generated by the application perfectly transcribe the scanned body part. The production team thus gains in precision, and therefore in productivity, when producing orthoses.

“The challenge for iBrace has been to develop a tablet application that can be adapted with the 3D Structure Sensor SDK scanner. It was necessary to make this tool very powerful and easy to use for health professionals. As of today, this application brings a real gain of productivity thanks to its precision.”

You MaWo – 3D scanner app by occipital structure sensor

You MaWo

Facial 3D scanner app powered by Occipital’s structure sensor for custom glasses.

Problem

The customer wanted to improve its 3D software powered by Occipital’s structure sensor to optimize its custom glasses offer. The tool previously used did not generate directly exploitable 3D files, forcing the production team to adjust the files.

You Mawo used a 3D scanner app to offer its customers a range of custom glasses. This tool allowed opticians to perform a 3D scan of the client’s face.

The file obtained was not directly exploitable and had to be retouched by the production team. The process was slow, which was a significant cost for the company.

The goal was to optimize the productivity of the production team so they did not have to adjust the file produced by the optician.

Solution

We have developed a powerful 3D scanner app that works with Occipital’s Structure Sensor. The generated files are now ready to use for the production team.

We have developed a new iPad application to improve the rendering of the existing 3D scanner in order to record the face of each customer in a more relevant way. This provides production teams with a complete, ready-to-use file to optimize their process.

With new algorithms and facial recognition, we have implemented an intelligent alignment system. The app’s superpositioning of photos allows the recognition of eyes, chin and ears. Thus, the final 3D rendering is perfectly aligned and straight.

After this first step, we developed augmented reality in order to animate the customer’s product catalog. Thanks to the camera lens, catalog images come to life as video and eyewear models are modeled in 3D for ever-richer and more immersive online shopping.

“The You MaWo iPad app clearly captures the ease of use of powerful technology tools. With an application, opticians can scan the faces of their customers with ease. The challenge of the application was to provide a simple and powerful use of the 3D Structure Sensor SDK scanner, and I think we did it well!”
