She created a portable, laser backpack for 3-D mapping that creates fast, automatic and realistic inside images.

That's why, when you use a GPS inside a building, the device can't pinpoint your location accurately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other ways to image interiors, like using laser devices that measure distances across walls and then assembles them. But those take time - 30 to 40 minutes for a small room, said Zakhor. \"A whole building could take a week to scan.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zakhor had a different idea. She created a portable, laser backpack for 3-D mapping that creates fast, automatic and realistic inside images.
