The most spectacular aspect of the Sprout is the built-in scanner, projector, and cameras, all of which are contained in what HP calls the Illuminator Column. This set is attached at the back of the system and bends into an arm over the display. All of these elements work together and the projected image shines down onto the integrated Touch Mat, a specialized surface that combines capacitive touch with a precision projection. The projected image serves as a second screen that offers 20-point tracking. The Touch Mat connects to the system with a magnetic docking connector that clicks easily into place, so there’s no issue with cables or worrying about the twists of wireless pairing.

The Touch Mat also works as the bed for scanning images, documents, and objects. The scanner presents high-resolution 3D scanning thanks to the incredible array of sensors built into the device, it will also capture these scans in full color, with nearly pixel-perfect accuracy. The 3D Snapshot software also allows you to take multiple scans of an object from several sides, linking them into a one-piece virtual object. Sprout users can share these 3D objects with a feature that lets others view and manipulate them in an online 3D viewer where they can rotate or resize an object to see multiple perspectives. With online sharing users can share via email, post to Facebook, or other social sites.

Online and retailer information is available at www.sprout.com. The HP Sprout is available for pre-order starting today through HP.com and will be coming to select retailers, including Microsoft Stores and Best Buy, starting Nov. 9, 2016.
