WalabotDIY connects magnetically to the

back of Android smart phones, allowing

users to see through plasterboard,

cement and other materials. The

technology is so precise it can determine

the location of pipes, wires and even

rodent’s nests.

WalabotDIY is compatible with

all Android smart phones 5.0 and

higher, equipped with USB OTG. After

downloading the WalabotDIY app via

Google Play and a short calibration

process, it can be used to scan the wall.

The wall images are then projected on

the smart phone’s screen.

The tool also helps users know

precisely how deep to cut or how far to

drill to avoid damaging pipes, wires,

and objects hidden behind walls. Its

robust 3D imaging sensors detect

both the depth and location of objects

and easily see through up to 10cm of

concrete or plasterboard.

WalabotDIY also features an

adjustable sensitivity setting for optimal

calibrations on specific renovation

and construction projects, offers two

sensing modes of pipes and raw data,

and can easily snap photo screenshots

for use in offline analysis. The powerful

sensor technology will also enable added

features for WalabotDIY in the future.

Additional applications will be available

via Google Play and will integrate

seamlessly with the existing WalabotDIY

tool as they are announced and released.

3D imaging sensor

01 is the world’s first dimensioning

instrument. It rolls over straight,

curved or contoured objects to capture,

log, and share dimensions. Carved in

aluminium, 01 is contained within a pen,

pencil or stylus, and wirelessly connects to

smart phones.

“We need to rethink how we capture

and use dimensions. Measuring tape, for

example, hasn’t really changed since its

creation in 1860,” says InstruMMents

founder and CEO Mladen Barbaric.

The InstruMMents team is a

collective of veterans in device and

software development, looking to tackle

this problem.

“Mladen and his team are some of the

best product designers I’ve ever worked

with and have once again re-imagined an

important product category,” says ex-CEO

of Apple and PepsiCo and co-founder of

Misfit John Sculley.

01 uses a proprietary multi-sensor

system, requires only one hand to

dimension and is the only such device in

the world that works on 3D surfaces. Used

to design buildings or hang pictures, it

helps makers intuitively capture linear or

contoured lengths. No charging is required

and batteries last up to six months. Users

can also log, search, and share dimensions

using the InstruMMents iOS and Android

apps. Other features include:

ǩ

Unit Selection: convert between metric

and imperial.

ǩ

Scale: dimension drawings or maps in

any scale.

ǩ

Quick W-H-D: captures width, height

and depth automatically, making

dimensioning boxes fast.

ǩ

Blink Interval: Set up grids, hang things

equally apart or gauge rough dimensions

without your phone.
