Iranian researcher revolutionizes 3D imaging

CalTech researchers, working under Iranian electrical engineer Ali Hajimiri, are working on a new ‘nanophotonic coherent imager’ (NCI) that can allow users to scan 3D images with just their smartphone.

 

 
For making an exact copy of an object with a 3D printer, the first step is to produce a high-resolution scan of the object with a 3D camera that measures its height, width, and depth. While such 3D imaging has been around for decades, the most sensitive systems are generally too large and expensive to be used in consumer applications.
