This week in Capture & streaming gear · updated Fri Oct 23 2026
This week in capture and streaming gear, two distinct capture modalities advanced. The MetroY Ultra 3D scanner targets physical fabrication, capturing precise geometry of parts without existing CAD files, as demonstrated in a custom motorcycle build where it digitized a rear fender to design a seat tray, replacing manual measurement and iterative metalwork. Meanwhile, Razer introduced the Kiyo V2 Pro webcam for streaming, offering 4K video at 60fps with a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor and AI-based framing to automatically adjust the image, priced at $300. Both tools emphasize converting real-world input—either physical objects or live video—into clean digital references, though they serve different ends: reverse engineering versus live broadcasting.
