Garant has two different blue structured light scanners in the shop. For jobs requiring higher resolution than the Eva, de Cosson can use the Artec Spider structured blue light scanner. The trade-off is a slower and more expensive scan. “That could certainly be a limitation for some people,” he says. “But the scan is much, much higher resolution. The blue light scanner from Artec has a point accuracy up to about 50 microns and a resolution up to 100 microns. So, that’s definitely a big difference.”

Remember Palm, the company behind those handheld PDAs (no, not that kind of PDA) that were so prevalent in the 90s? It’s back Monday with something truly weird: The Palm, a tiny Android-powered smartphone that’s meant to supplement, not replace, your current handset. You can’t even buy the Palm on its own — it’s available only as an add-on to your existing smartphone plan, and, at least for now, only on Verizon.

It’s unfortunately a relatively big price jump to get this SSD-equipped model, but RAM is pricey these days and SSD is simply not inexpensive technology. The storage capacity takes a nice bump, though, so you can also store more files and your system will load faster. A 128GB drive isn’t a ton of storage, but for the types of tasks the Surface Go is built for, it’s a fitting capacity. On the whole, I think the $399 price point of the Surface Go is one of the stronger selling points, so there’s less head-turning value in hearing "$550 Surface." But the speedier storage and more-standard amount of memory are undeniably nice to have if you’ll also lean on this machine as a frequent work companion.

The specification of this phone mirrors a large number of Chinese-produced devices we’ve seen. They all use the MediaTek MT6763T (Helio P23) octa-core processor and ARM Mali G71 MP2 GPU combination, and on the Armor 3, this CPU is clocked to its maximum 2.5GHz.

Smart glasses and handheld AR can drastically increase efficiency in the procurement process, for both the client and the supplier. On the supply side, there is no longer a need to leave clients reliant on descriptions and two-dimensional representations that require time and planning just to give a less than complete picture of products.

In the next iteration of ORION, due out in 2019, UPSNav will dynamically adjust throughout the day to recalculate routes, considering factors like changing traffic conditions and the remaining deliveries and pick-up requests.

Leave it to the Game Boy to have accessories made for it after the system ceases production. And such a bizarre accessory too. In 2009, a medical company unveiled the PediSedate as a device to help administer anesthesia. Essentially a nasal headset attached to a Game Boy, the handheld helped distract people. It’s actually a clever idea. What better way to put someone at ease for upcoming surgery than with video games? It’s unclear if the PediSedate was ever released after its announcement in 2009. Maybe they couldn’t find enough Game Boys?

Like many, I’m very interested in getting my hands on some ARM hardware to see what the experience is really like.

Elsewhere, companies are working on creating Tricorder type hardware with a focus on infectious disease: the Q-POC, made by QuantumDx, is expected to launch next year, and brings handheld diagnostics for bacterial and viral infections. The idea of the Q-POC is putting short-read genetic sequencing into a device the size of a smartphone: with a sample of bodily fluid, the reader could pick up not only the nature of an infection, like TB, but also its resistance to particular drugs. The technology already exists and is in common use, but shrinking it down to a device that can fit in a pocket is QuantumDx’s real challenge.

Contrary to popular belief, the Game Boy was not Nintendo’s first handheld. They actually had a whole series of them called Game & Watch. Future Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi was inspired by watching a businessman play on a calculator on the train.
