Abstract
A system includes a handheld unit having a light source, an image sensor, one or more first processors, an Ethernet cable, and a frame. The light source projects light onto an object, and the image sensor captures an image of light reflected from the object. One or more first processors are directly coupled to the frame. An accessory device has one or more second processors that receive data extracted from the captured image over the Ethernet cable and, in response, determine three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of points on the object. The accessory device also send electrical power over the Ethernet cable to the handheld unit.
