Commercialization examples of 3D FD scanner:
1. A 3D scanner for general which can scan a blackish one(ex.part of hair of a human's head) and is fast.
2. A military satellite which can do 3D scanning and an astronomical 3D scanner like an astronomical telescope.
3. Eyes of robot which communicates with human.
"About 1"
The feature only of the 3D FD scannner(it is not possible to do by the 3D laser scannner) is to be able to scan all positions including a blackish part in long range.

It is not possible to scan in many positions(the scanning result becomes jet-black or mottled in many positions).
Therefore, the 3D FD scannner is especially effective in a computer game industry.
When the 3D scanner was used for making computer game, the 3D laser scanner was used. And so it was necessary to employ 3D graphics engineer whose labor cost is high and buy expensive hardware(3D graphics software, high performance workstation, .etc) to bury lacked part of the scanning results by a quality equal with surroundings.
But you can make the computer game by taking the scanning result into the computer program without any repair if you use the 3D FD scanner instead of the 3D laser scanner.
As a result, the computer game development cost can be reduced greatly by the 3D FD scanner(*1). Perhaps the 3D FD scanner be accepted as a new standard in the game industry.
*1 The computer game development cost is a big problem in these days. The high one is several ten million dollars or more.
Moreover, 3D FD scanner is fast. For example, the 3D FD scanner can get 30,720 points/second scanning speeds and depth coordinates at intervals of one millimeter within the range of ten meters if "the high-speed camera which takes 640x480 pixels pictures by 1,000 scenes/second and the large area image sensor for a brightness is attached to" is used, and the lens is slided from the edge to the edge at ten second on the system.
If the high-speed camera has more than about 18.5G bytes memory, the system can start the second scanning continuing after the first scanning ends as data size of the pictures of each scanning is 9.216G bytes(640x480x24/8x10,000). and the first calculation can be finished while the second scanning. And so the system can finish scanning of 307,200 points(640x480) at ten second(=30,720 points at one second).
By the way, it came to be able to make a high-speed camera cheaply recently because you can get high memory band and fast access to an area image sensor by just mass production type computer parts(DDR3 memory controller, PCI-Express2.0 x16 bus, .etc), therefore costs of manufacturing of a 3D FD scanner is low.

As a result, a 3D FD scanner can scan a blackish one which a past 3D scanner couldn't scan and get some times at the speed of a past 3D scanner from an equal cost.
"About 2"
The 3D FD scanner can do 3D scanning if it is a distance that light reaches, and so can scan even at tens of thousands of kilometers and several light-years even.
Therefore, for example, the object on the earth from the satellite can be scanned in 3D, and the distant heavenly body from the observation point on the earth can be scanned in 3D by the 3D FD scanner.
By the way, the 3D FD scanner functions with not only a glass lens but also a mirror lens which is general for heavenly phenomena. And it is described to 0073 of the description of my japanese patent(4462581) to use a mirror lens though it doesn't become claim, and is possible to make it to claim at an international application(moreover, I pended also the continuation application of 4462581 before 4462581 was registered in japan, and so it is possible to make it to claim in japan too).
And so a three-dimensional military strategy that considers height comes to be able to plan if this is used as a military satellite(seeing from side for a cubic or hexahedron building is in the state with only the ceiling, but the quality of obtained information is by far with a flat satellite photograph because the height of the building is understood). There is a possibility that the huge budget can be united if you go to the army and do the presentation of the 3D scanning military satellite(this may become a huge project).
Moreover, it comes to be able to understand rough shape of a distant heavenly body if this is used as a astronomical 3D scanner. The fact different from the recognition of the past may be clarified(for instance, the nebula thought that it was discoid is actually spheroidal, .etc), which is a big discovery in astronomy.
In this case, it is also effective to acquire the patent in BLICs(the 3D military satellite and the astronomical 3D scanner sell enough if GDP of the entire country and the budget of "the army and the national astronomical observatory" are high even if the purchasing power per person yet is not high). Therefore, the application for the purchase of foreign priority right of the 3D FD scanner by the addition is accepted now. Please tell me if it is interested.

The robot that mixes with human and acts exists while still developing.
example: http://www.honda.co.jp/HDTV/ASIMO/200412-run/
Notice: I have nothing to do with Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
This robot will become to do 3D scanning to learn surrounding solid shape in the future.
And if you use 3D laser scanning for this, a laser enters eyes of surrounding human, and there is a possibility that the health hazard occurs.
However, because a light such as lasers is not emitted at all if you use 3D FD scanning instead of 3D laser scanning, it is appropriate for eyes of the robot.
