Built for use with the Structure Sensor by Occipital. New and Improved! No wifi needed. DigiScan 3D is an intuitive portable shape capture tool for prosthetics, orthotics and hobbyists looking for a solution to quickly create a 3D image using the Structure Scanner. You decide how you will use the tool. You can now email a .stl file and .obj file with appropriate scale and units straight from your iPad to the fabrication facility or shape manipulation software of your choice. The scale feature allows you to do global reductions/additions to your model in alignment. As a clinician you now have a way to quickly capture shape and keep it on file so you can refer to the scan at a later date. As a hobbyist you can email the file to yourself and open it in the manipulation software of your choice. We do not collect information regarding how you interact with the app. We suggest you use deidentified data if the shape capture scan is transmitted via email.

About

The Record Player

A musical hourglass. One album. One mood. One moment. Let the music flow like sand through an hourglass. The Record Player picks a random album from your library and plays it from beginning to end. No shuffling. No skipping. No decisions. You don’t choose the album - your library is the choice. Each play session is a reflection of your taste, your memories, and your current state of mind. It’s a moment of calm. Or energy. Or something in between. Whether you’re working, relaxing, commuting, cooking, or falling asleep, one album is enough. Use it to frame time - about 40 to 50 minutes - and give your attention a soundtrack. This is focus music for people who still love music. What can you play? • MP3 albums from your iTunes library • Apple Music albums you’ve saved to your library • Napster albums (with an active subscription) What makes it special? • Local album support with offline playback • MP3 playback includes pops, scratches, and all - perfect for digitized vinyl • Spatial record view - see a virtual record spinning in smooth 3D • Augmented Reality mode - double-tap outside the album to anchor the record in your room • Siri voice control - just say “Hey Siri, spin some vinyl” • Designed for simplicity, focus, and flow The Record Player was built for people who love albums. It’s not a playlist builder or a background noise machine. It’s about honoring the full arc of an album - start to finish - and letting that shape your day. What’s coming next? We’re just getting started. Here are a few ideas we’re exploring: • Power Hour Mode - one song per minute for 60 minutes • Auto-play toggle - keep going after each album or stop and reflect • Support for the full Apple Music catalog (not just your saved albums) • Light and dark themes that reflect album art • SharePlay support for listening to albums together remotely We’d love your feedback. Please leave a review and tell us what features you’d like to see next. Created by Sumner Internet Marketing Environments Corp. (SIME Corp), blending art, audio, and digital tools since 1994.
