I'm starting a PhD in Information Systems and Communications at Robert Morris University 22 Aug 2022 and will graduate in the Spring of 2025. My dissertation topic will focus on the necessary automation for Lifegraphs (or Lifescense) to be ubiqitious and effective for everyone living in the 1st world.

X3D and the Web3D Consortium are alive and thriving in 2020. I'm still the Humanoid Animation Working Group Co-Chair. The International Standardization Organization ratified the HAnim v2.0 specification this year. The HAnim WG is focused on modeling the adult human body's organs--all 80+ of them. I joined the IEEE Standards Association Industry Connections to participate in the 3D Body Processing standards, P3141. That group considered the X3D file format amongst others for its work. I am preparing for my enterprise architecture certification in the spring and will use the thoughts on lifegraphing for the past 15 years as motivation to pass the FEAC exam with fyling colors.

Temporary hiatus 3D Body Surface Scanning while I build a customer base

I will stop 3D body surface scanning in 19 days (early Jan 2018) due to my software licenses expiring and I'm choosing not to pay $2,000 for an annual renewal. Unfortunately, my ad hoc marketing did not generate the revenue to defray the cost of operations. I personally handed out self-printed business cards to 250 folks I sized up as interested only to hear crickets after pitching the value of having 3D body surface scans. No radio, TV, Facebook, Google or internet ads to supplement my "whenever I think someone might be" approach. I promised my family I would cease paying the renewal if I did not raise the funds from selling body surface scans to others for $5 after the first free session! I generated $5 from one scanning session in the past year! I met that guy at a Quantified Self MeetUp a year ago. I'm looking for someone or business to buy my SizeStream SS14 now. I'm asking $5,000 for my SS14. I paid $10K in Aug 2014. SizeStream doesn't advertise the SS14 anymore since they launched the SS20 model this year. Depending on who you are (i.e., academic institution, commercial entity or governmental agency) and how many you are buying at once, the cost is ~$15,000 and the annual software license required to operate the scanner is ~$3,000/yr. So if you are business using the scanner as a means to an end then like many touch labor consulting services you want to generate at least $60/hr for every hour you are open assuming one low-wage (i.e., <$20/hr) employee. The startups like Naked.fit still are not shipping the $1,000 3D Body Scanner for the home yet. No low-cost in-home 3D body scanning options exist yet.

3D Body Surface Scanning (and Total Body Skin Photography) everyday I'm home

I purchased a www.sizestream.com 3D body scanner in August 2014. Having a 3D body scanner in my home was the only practical way to amass the data for the development of the UI I will design and build for the LifeGraph/HealthGraph software suite of apps. I intend to use Ada 2012, HTML 5 and X3D/H-Anim technologies to name a few. I'm using Enterprise Architect for the requirements engineering and UML.

4th International Conference and Exhibition on 3D Body Scanning Technologies

I am going to this event to meet who I hope are future business partners in my human health graph enterprise. I'm convinced no one has emerged out of stealth development with a direct to consumer solution for whole/total/full body scanning and imaging with automatic orthorectification. The requisite inputs for orthorectification are 1) an image with accurate sensor geometry and 2) an elevation model of the body surface in VRML/X3D format. I haven't found any providers of automatic orthorectification for a human body of any age, size, posture or gender at rest. Developing the body scaffold for the panoply of scanners and imagers moving along it is one of many development projects necessary for HHG success. The field of regard and field of view for the scanners and imagers will be smaller than the scanned and imaged area no matter where they are along the body scaffold. This will require a dynamic shutter as the slant range between he body and the scanners and imagers will vary 50% from a nominal distance of 15 cm. The elevation and image resolutions will be designed to match an adult human's unaided vision or 90 micrometers. This equates to approximately 200,000,000 vertices (elevation mesh) and 200,000,000 pixels per spectral band.

my IRAD proposal slide nine (last) note

Here is my wishful thinking for a ROM cost to do what I proposed. No one mentioned in this has seen these numbers so you can laugh aloud. Labor 2,000 hrs direct Project Manager ($150/hr = $300K) 4,000 hrs Consultants labor (@ $150/hr = $600K) 4,000 hrs Subcontractors labor (@ $150/hr = $600K) MarkLogic for NXD Sizestream for body scanners and Canfield Scientific for skin imagers Web3D Consortium and equivalents for Acoustics and Haptics Materials and Equipment $25K for instrument fees (buy, rent, lease) to generate data from (tissue, fluid, gas, EMR) measurements needed to develop and initialize the Native XML DB (NXD). Sizestream will provide 3D body scanner and Canfield will provide the whole body skin imager prototypes for home use $15K for computing machinery (i.e., laptops, tablets, smart phones, peripherals) $50K for s/w licenses (Mark Logic Server, Ada 2012 complier, Bitmanagement X3D SDK, …) and class libraries. $5K technical publications (journal articles, papers, books, etc.) not freely accessible Travel $15K for 20 person-travel days, 10 round-trips to subcontractors and partners’ locations for meetings and body measurements.
