Abstract: A method and an arrangement for producing a workpiece using additive manufacturing techniques involve pre-process, in-process and post-process measurement in order to determine individual characteristics of one or more workpiece layers. In particular, dimensional and/or geometrical characteristics of a workpiece layer are measured before the next workpiece layer is produced. Advantageously, production parameters are controlled in response to individual material characteristics determined prior to the production process. Also advantageously, measurement results are fed back into a production process in order to increase accuracy, reliability, repeatability and precision of the production process.

Abstract: Methods, devices, systems and computer software/program code products include techniques for creating a deep frame buffer, such techniques being implementable in conjunction with an apparatus comprising a main camera and an array of buddy cameras, the main camera and the buddy cameras being operable to capture images; and techniques for creating at least one depth buffer, such techniques being implementable in conjunction with an apparatus comprising at least two cameras.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and computer software/program code products enable efficient handling and remedying of unreliable sensor data, such as data captured by cameras in a virtual 3-dimensional (V3D) imaging or communications system; and enable, in a visual communications system involving a plurality of display devices usable by respective users, synchronization to a common space, and display of images by a receiving device in an orientation independent of the angle at which the receiving device is held.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products (“software”) for rendering scene content in a form configured for visually improved presentation on at least one holographic display device comprise: (A) recognizing at least one meaningful element within the scene content; (B) selecting, from the at least one recognized meaningful element, at least one selected meaningful scene element; (C) determining, based at least in part on the at least one selected meaningful scene element, at least one scene transform; and (D) utilizing the at least one determined scene transform, rendering multiple 2-dimensional perspectives of the content, the multiple 2-dimensional perspectives being configured for visually improved presentation on at least one holographic display device.

Abstract: Communication methods, systems and computer program products (“software”) (1) facilitate virtual immersion of one or more remote viewing participants into a captured scene which may include any number of physically present participants, and (2) provide indications of the remote viewing participants that can be seen or discerned by the physically present participants.
