THIS IS INSANE Huawei just turned a laptop camera into a document scanner You hold up a piece of paper → AI detects it → fixes the perspective → digitizes it. No scanner. No extra hardware.

A QR Code (Quick Response Code) is a type of 2D barcode that can hold a lot of information and can be quickly scanned using a smartphone camera or QR scanner. It was invented in 1994 by a Japanese company called Denso Wave (a subsidiary of Toyota) to help track car parts faster.

After months of work, a Flyby F-11 drone can be turned into a massive 3D scanner. We just digitized our test site with a 12-minute flight.
