Meet The Amazing HP Sprout

HP sprout

The amazing HP Sprout, latest desktop release from HP, was created with artists, designers, architects and publishers in mind. I’m not any of those but I want one badly…. Here’s why…

The Front View

HP Sprout is your regular Windows computer but it comes with a twist. It has an interactive touch mat and is capable of scanning 3D objects.

The Illuminator

HP placed an “illuminator” at the top of the computer. The Illuminator has several cameras, a projector, a scanner and 3D depth sensor functioning within it. The cameras capture 3D images of any object you put on the workspace. Once they are scanned, you can edit them however you like using the software.

The System

The unboxed Sprout comes with a 20-inch touchscreen monitor, a physical keyboard, a stylus and a mouse. You also have the option to use a digital keyboard via its touch pad. The stylus is very handy for designers when they get into their zone.

Workspace and 3D Scanning

All you need do is place an object on the touch mat and the illuminator would create a 3D image of it on the screen. You can then work with the scanned 3D images using the touch mat. You can either use the stylus of your finger to adjust the size and other features of the image.

In a Nut Shell

The HP Sprout system is a desktop with a projector that can scan physical objects and within a few seconds transforms these physical objects into digital objects and allows you edit it with your fingers. It’s a blend of the standard computer and a touch of the future.
