Renovations 3D for Android
Just came across this in the blog:

Renovations 3D for Android. A couple of comments

  • Very interesting and impressive. User interface looks very clever. Seems Phil Jordan has done an exceptional job. And also started bridging an important gap.
  • Thanks to eTeks for never having let go of the open source model, which is one of the basic features that makes SH3D special. Especially for those of us who are not great fans of the app-store model in general.
  • That said, I am happy you came to the solution you did for Renovations 3D, and very much hope the split revenue model will generate lots and lots of income for eTeks. So congratulations, so far.
As an afterthought. I am looking for a new phone (dual sim/long battery life/waterproof) and realised that there are some manufacturers that make alternatives to the run-of-the-mill smart-phones, one with an infrared camera. I already use a protractor/plumb app, a colour analyzer app, a gps log, a compass etc. But cannot measure distances (accurately), for that I would need a laser measure built into the hardware (more useful than the infrared camera). If I were to dream, imagine what could be done with a phone with a laser measure (and possibly the increased accuracy of Galileo) + SH3D and some clever interfacing...

Now that would be a toy worth writing home about smile
