Description
Wakam (WAlabot creator Kentucky cAMera) is a 3D-printable multicamera combining the fisheye visible-light view from a Insta360 Air with the radar imaging of a Walabot Creator. With appropriate software on a host connected by two USB cables, this device can produce a live feed painting radar data over the fisheye view.This device and software for it will be presented at Electronic Imaging 2020; a link to the software will be posted here around the time of the conference.
There are five parts to be printed from three separate designs: print three of the grub screws, one left side, and one right side. The left and right sides are held together by the 3 grub screws; the back side is the side with the text on it. Note that the screws and screw threads are all printed, including a tripod thread at the bottom of the unit. The Walabot Creator costs about $75 and the Insta360 Air used to be about $100, but has been discontinued and can be found for about half that price -- thus, the entire unit costs well under $150 to make.
