“…Digital models were created by placing each cast upside-down on a pedestal with a contrasting surface color and a scale bar and then capturing a series of still images with 123D Catch (Autodesk, Inc., 2013) for iPhone, which uses photogrammetry to build three-dimensional (3D) models (Kersten and Lindstaedt, 2012;Santagati and Inzerillo, 2013). Digital models were downloaded from the Autodesk 123Dapp.com website and imported into Blender (Stichting Blender Foundation, 2013).…”

The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is a well known burrower, but individuals spend the majority of their time above ground foraging for soil organisms by repeatedly digging pits through the soil surface. Little ichnological attention has been given to these foraging pits even though their great prevalence within the geographic range of extant armadillos implies that they might have a trace fossil record in paleosols extending back to at least the Paleocene. This research describes the foraging pits constructed by D. novemcinctus with implications for recognition and interpretation of similar conical trace fossils. Field observations yielded an association between one large-diameter (41 cm wide) dwelling burrow, three relatively short, straight shelter burrows (up to 19 cm wide and 38 cm long), and abundant variously sized foraging pits (up to 18 cm wide and 14.5 cm deep). Plaster casts of foraging pits showed that most were asymmetrical, vertically oriented, downward-tapering elliptical cones (width>depth), with smooth to coarsely dimpled walls and common elongate, parallel grooves, isolated curved grooves, and distinct paired grooves, resulting from scratching with the elongated middle two digits of the forelimb. Digital models of plaster casts are used to quantify several aspects, including a new property, conicality. Relative compactness and volume exploited indicate that surface pits are more efficient for soil foraging than subterranean burrows. Recognition of fossil armadillo foraging pits would enable paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic interpretations analogous to the habitats and ranges of extant armadillos. Conical trace fossils in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation are potential examples of ancient vertebrate foraging pits, although they are not attributable to armadillos because of their age.

“…Instead, in architectural field there is a lack of systematic studies, Kestern made some applications on very simple buildings and Manferdini (Manferdini, Galassi, 2013) worked mainly on 123D Catch verifications. Hence, rather than getting a comparison between 123D Catch and other image based modeling tools, we consider more useful investigate on the 123D Catch architectonic mesh metric and visual accuracy (Santagati, Inzerillo, 2013) in order to fill this gape and provide some methodological directions.…”

ABSTRACT:3D reconstruction from images has undergone a revolution in the last few years. Computer vision techniques use photographs from data set collection to rapidly build detailed 3D models. The simultaneous applications of different algorithms (MVS), the different techniques of image matching, feature extracting and mesh optimization are inside an active field of research in computer vision. The results are promising: the obtained models are beginning to challenge the precision of laser-based reconstructions. Among all the possibilities we can mainly distinguish desktop and web-based packages. Those last ones offer the opportunity to exploit the power of cloud computing in order to carry out a semi-automatic data processing, thus allowing the user to fulfill other tasks on its computer; whereas desktop systems employ too much processing time and hard heavy approaches. Computer vision researchers have explored many applications to verify the visual accuracy of 3D model but the approaches to verify metric accuracy are few and no one is on Autodesk 123D Catch applied on Architectural Heritage Documentation. Our approach to this challenging problem is to compare the 3Dmodels by Autodesk 123D Catch and 3D models by terrestrial LIDAR considering different object size, from the detail (capitals, moldings, bases) to large scale buildings for practitioner purpose.* Corresponding author.

“…Recently, a few easy modeling systems have started to appear. For instance, Autodesk 123D [6] allows users to create a VE with low learning overhead. Minecraft [7], a game of placing blocks in VE to build arbitrary environments, is popularly used by many American schools to cultivate students' creativity.…”

Most of current virtual/augmented reality games focus on players' immersive experience. The creative process of game design is usually not accessible to the player. In this paper, we present a new game genre that combines player initiated game design with game play. This new genre enables users to design games in a physical space and then play in a rendered virtual space. To this aim we illustrate our conceptual design of a virtual reality game, called UbiMaze, which promotes player participation, and provides a rich, interactive and engaging experience.
