This is already happening with some of the low-cost mobile 3D sensor accessories out there (like Structure Sensor). Having it built into the phone is obviously where a lot of people want to see things go but there's definitely a prosumer class popping up that were priced out of traditional 3D scanners previously.
Occipital - Multiple Openings - San Francisco, CA or Boulder, CO (Full-time)
Interested in working with mobile devices for large scale SLAM?
Occipital is equal parts science lab and software startup, on a mission to bring spatial computing to everyday life. Last year, we launched Structure Sensor: (http://structure.io, http://kck.st/16BkwuO). It was the first 3D sensor for mobile devices, and it was one of the top funded Kickstarter tech projects of all time. Today, Structure Sensor (and the associated Structure SDK) are reinventing the way people practice medicine, create visual effects for TV shows and movies, and much more.
We’re giving regular mobile devices a superpower — the power to capture and understand their real-world surroundings. Structure Sensor and SDK isn’t the first product we’ve launched: we’re also the company behind RedLaser (acquired by eBay) and 360 Panorama. We have a record of taking computer vision technology on the frontier of “possible,” and then being the first ones to make it consumer-ready on a smartphone or tablet. We know mobile.
If you’re interested, drop me a line at schiff@occipital.com. Make sure to include a fun fact about yourself, preferred Starcraft 2 race, or favorite so-bad-it’s-good movie.

I wonder how important (and difficult) it's going to be to have a desktop app for this. Everyone I know that uses Slack, Hipchat, etc. has the desktop app.
Our goal is to be the plumbing that connects other apps/services. We think the main value here is the possibility to use whatever app/service you like best to communicate with other teams.
A lot of young interviewees think it's not their place to ask these questions. At least from my own perspective as a founder/CEO, as long as it's not combative, I think much more highly of people I interview who show the maturity to think about these things.
I'm the founder, so I'm biased, but I use Fetchnotes for storing most things like this: links, things to check out (books, music, movies, apps, restaurants, places etc), ideas, resources, random thoughts, knowledge/trivia I come across, reminders/tasks and a ton more.
We built it to be simple, lightweight and flexible. Just add a hashtag to a word in a note, and it groups that thought with anything else with that hashtag. Involve another person? I just @-mention their username, email or phone number, or I can send them a link to the note. There's no system to learn — when you want to find something, just click on the tag you used.
Specifically for things I learn, I have a #randomfacts tag that I add things to when I come across an interesting piece of trivia (mostly from articles or audiobooks), and a #thoughts tag for things I think of on my own.
Check it out at www.fetchnotes.com and let me know what you think! I'm at alex@fetchnotes.com
