Augmented Reality: Motion Contrast 3D Scanner

*Yet another 3D registration gadget. They're getting better, and combining a bunch of disparate techniques in one system is going to be really powerful.

A brief intro to our Motion Contrast 3D (MC3D) scanning technology.
Real-time 3D scanning is important for systems that operates outdoors like self-driving cars or augmented reality glasses. Current scanning devices fails when external light sources, such as the sun, are too bright. Our MC3D technology overcomes this problem to enable live 3D scanning in challenging conditions.
