Ooo - very nifty tool for anyone who deals with products with complex analytics instrumentations. Tracking plan spreadsheets have just never worked for us.

Love the simplicity of this. Going to give this a go on one of our next projects.


Glad to hear I'm not alone in the frustration! Thanks and let me know how it goes.


Twindom | Computer Graphics Engineer | Berkeley, CA | ONSITE http://web.twindom.com/ Twindom is an industry leader in photorealistic body scanning. Our scanners are used around the world in the production of 3D Photography, VFX, product development, and more. We're also a profitable company.

As a Computer Graphics Engineer you will work on a small development team focused primarily on the development of new applications for our 3D avatars, though you will also be used as a general resource for relevant problems. You will get exposure to problems in graphics, computational geometry, computer vision and machine learning. You must be a fast learner, capable of hacking together prototype solutions using any frameworks, algorithms, papers, etc. you think are relevant.

This position requires a high degree of autonomy and an ability to prioritize work and problem solving according to customer feedback. Your contributions will serve as the backbone for amazing new products. Here is the full job description: https://angel.co/twindom-1/jobs/202435-computer-graphics-eng...

Founder here, happy to answer any questions. The system the bbc article wrote about was a kinect based system from 2 years ago. One of our newest photogrametry based systems in the Valley Fair mall in San Jose: http://web.twindom.com/gallery/

Also, if your a vr company feel free to email me at will [at] twindom.com. We are coming out with some stuff in the next few months :)


I couldn't find any pricing information for printing a figurine on the website. Anything you can disclose more? Thanks.


Pricing starts at $15 for the system we operate in San Jose.


This sounds a lot like what http://thumb.it/ does. It works pretty well actually and the responses are within a couple minutes


It does sound similar. Just from watching the video, it looks like thumb.it just has up/down votes on one image, with optional additional feedback.

The advantage of having two images is the voter doesn't even need to read a description or know what part of the image they're supposed to up/down vote. They should be able to easily see the difference between the two and just make a snap decision in less than a second. Not having to read text makes it more fun, I would think, and also provides a lot more results for the picture-taker.


Just in time for CES :)


IMO, we are still a ways away from 3D printing being as disruptive as a lot of people think (at least for home use).

From owning a 3D printer and doing prints for friends in my engineering classes, I think people still greatly underestimate how high touch 3D printing is today.

For example, look at the makerbot google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/makerbot

Even looking at Shapeways (an online 3D printing company with really expensive machines), they still deal with quality control problems for the average model someone uploads.


I'm a big fan of Streak if your primary communication tool is email.
