Orbbec Femto Bolt: Discover the Power of This RGBD Camera!

[@VicVegaTW]

I spent so long with the sdk trying to figure it out and you neatly wrapped up a demo in 30 or so seconds. Thanks. I’m keen to learn more if you could point me towards any other resources.

[@JetsonHacks]

I don't have anything specific. It's extremely similar to the MS Azure Kinect camera. Any resources that you find using that SDK, you should be able to port fairly easily. Thanks for watching, and good luck on your project!

How well does this sensor work in an outdoor environment, or do you know?

[@JetsonHacks]

It depends a lot on the lighting conditions. If it's full sun without much cloud cover into a bright scene, not very well. The original Kinect was designed for indoor use with the Xbox gaming system, so it's not a natural for going outside. Thanks for watching!

Wow this is incredible

[@JetsonHacks]

It's a very nice camera. Thanks for watching!

Very good to see the Background Culling demo. Though i've heard it referred to as Live Matte previosly. Different industry, i suppose.

[@JetsonHacks]

Background culling is an old term that came from wireframe polygon rendering. Live Matte sounds like a great marketing term! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the highly professional and in-depth review and testing of our product. May we share your video?🤗

[@JetsonHacks]

You are welcome, the Femto Bolt is a very nice camera. You may share the video, and thank you for the opportunity for the review.

Great camera and tutorial sir. I have a question, Does this give a point cloud even at night? Like a complete proper point cloud?

[@JetsonHacks]

Yes it does. The camera has an IR emitter which it uses to construct the point cloud. It does not work very well in direct sunlight for that reason. Most people use them indoors. Thanks for watching!

Hi! I am wondering if Orbbec works for Macbook with M3 chip? This will really help! Thanks!

[@JetsonHacks]

I do not know. I have only seen references to machines running Windows and Linux. You can check with Orbbec for a more definitive answer. Thanks for watching!

[@aseedofwheat9928]

@@JetsonHacks Alright thank you Jetson :)

[@creaturefreak3d205]

awesome Vid and explanation. I have this camera . Just wondering how to capture the pointcloud and export it in a 3d format. Are there any simple apps that can do this? I was able to see eaverything as you did in the Femto bolt viewer. Thanks for any help.

[@JetsonHacks]

Thank you for the kind words. Using the Orbbec SDK, you can look in the examples directory. Depending on which version of the SDK you are using (C, C++, Python), there are samples that save the point cloud to a file. For Python: github.com/orbbec/pyorbbecsdk/blob/main/examples/save_pointcloud_to_disk.py Thanks for watching!

[@creaturefreak3d205]

@@JetsonHacks Thanks Jetson! I figured it out , you have to Orbbec viewer /under Point Cloud View /you click start and will save the pointcloud. I'm trying to figure out how to scan in 360 degree using the camera. Any software available that can do that? I'm more of an artist then a programmer.

[@JetsonHacks]

@@creaturefreak3d205 I'm sure there is, but I haven't used any. Check with Orbbec.

[@andreskint7503]

Have you found anything to capture a 3D model by scanning it?
