That's interesting about the sculpture scanning. The notion of capturing 3D impressions of things you've seen, and taking them away with you.

Do you get any sense of the Glasshole Factor, in public, with this device? (that is : a general feeling of distrust from people who observe you operating in public with a high tech recording device).




Just to clarify: I scan things with my iPhone, not the AVP. It takes a little longer because you're, for instance, walking all around a sculpture but it's really not a problem.

In fact, few people know about or do this and when I show them they're often quite excited and ask how they can do it too. Always fun to share.

In general, I'm only using the AVP seated and not interacting with strangers (other than the odd flight attendant asking me what I want to drink :-)

I've had people ask me about the AVP, wonder what I'm doing in there, or (rarely) take pics of me. Doesn't bother me. I'd be curious too.
