Abstract: Embodiments of a shape measurement system and related methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the system places a two-dimensional initial pattern, which can be implemented as a standalone molding or can be attached to a light source or printed on an outfit, onto a surface of a three-dimensional object. The system captures a transformed version of the initial pattern in two dimensions that is distorted due to the varying depth of the surface. The system then analyzes the transformed pattern and derives three-dimensional information regarding the target object. The analysis, which can incorporate a calibration process, can rely on the projection nature of the light source, the isomorphism/non-isomorphism of the initial pattern, and other factors.

Abstract: A random content messaging system and method are provided. The system and method allows users to submit content to a service and the system makes that content available for discovery, viewing and interaction by other users as unorganized random selection of items. The submitted content, in the form of threaded conversations, is only discoverable by users of the system via that random request & selection mechanism.
