The idea to run all the processing only on the THREE device is great but also brings some limitations. E.g. storage space and GPU/CPU processing power.
It would be excellent to have MFStudio SW (Windows) for the THREE which fetches all the scanning images via API from the scanner. And all the processing (cleanup, pointcloud alignment, meshing, texturing, XYZ coordinate alignment, basic measurement tools, etc) can be done on more powerfull PC. Data storage and GPU/CPU processing power is almost unlimited. I really think this would boost the productivity and allow to add even more features like marker detection.
Maybe MF could cooperate with Polyga (also canadian company) who developed FlexScan3d SW which is excellent 3d scanning SW. The structured light scanning process is very similar to MAF3. For developer it should be possible to modify their SW to fetch the images via API from THREE device instead of getting the data from USB3 cameras. As far as i understand they are no longer producing scanning HW so there should be no competition. Just an idea because it's also canadian company and FlexScan3d is great peace of 3d scanning SW.
Another native MFStudio SW for THREE would be also fine. I am sure that user would be also willing to pay extra for such additional SW if it provides more feature (e.g. marker detection) and the processing in faster and more powerfull.
