Sprout Reinvented is an article by Sarah Murray on the HP News website. It discusses a reboot of the HP's Sprout -- an immersive technology that is "part PC, part scanner and part projector." Sprout Pro by HP G2 has been redesigned to be smaller, more modern and polished, and geared to both educational and retail uses.
HP technologist Brad Short says of Sprout Pro, “It introduces students to the notion of 3D. To be able to scan something quickly and generate custom 3D content that they can manipulate is so immersive and instantaneous that it allows the learning process to be more immediate, to understand why that would be of value. Whole curriculums are now being created around that.”
Working in an academic library I know our students would love to have easier access to a 3D scanner that would allow them to manipulate the content with ease.
The retail retail element that I can see being used in libraries is that it has the capabilities to be embedded "in self-service kiosks that could be used to personalize customer experiences." This would require more research on the application, but I do know library users love personalized experiences when they can get them.
What interesting uses for Sprout Pro can YOU think of?
