We are excited to introduce our newly designed AOMS TOT sr
The idea of creating the AOMS TOT sr app is that the app does not rely on an externally attached sensor. With reduced components, it will increase scanning reliability and reduce maintenance work. Note that the AOMS TOT app relies on an external sensor to be attached to the iPad. Now both AOMS TOT jr app and AOMS TOT sr app do not rely on external sensors, what's good about AOMS TOT sr? Well, it is about scanning speed, tracking stability, broader device compatibility, and smoothness of data. This app can be used in our AOMS orthotic production systems. This app is available now in Apple App Store. If you are a lab owner or a lab technician and you need to process the XYZ files, please contact us for a software upgrade.
Our AOMS TOT sr app relies on Apple’s TrueDepth camera to take 3D image of the foot. In other words, you must have an Apple device that has the TrueDepth camera in it. That’s not all. Besides the TrueDepth camera, there are other factors which may influence the compatibility. These factors include the version of the iOS or iPadOS in the device and the model of the device. Besides, we must add the newest / latest device in the compatible list. We do it based on our testing or feedback.
At this point of writing (2025-05-09), the compatible devices include the following:
1. iPhone X family up to and including iPhone 15 family. For example, iPhone XR is a member of the iPhone X family, so it is compatible.
2. iPad Pro 11 inch family / iPad Pro 12.9 inch 3rd Gen family up to iPad Pro 11 inch 4th Gen family / iPad Pro 12.9 inch 6th Gen family.
Warning: At this point of writing (2025-05-09), the AOMS TOT sr does not work with the latest iPhone 16 family and the iPad Pro 11 inch 5th Gen / the iPad Pro 12.9 inch 7th Gen. We will update the app to include them at a later date, but we are not sure when. If you are not sure what are compatible, please email us.
Some important notes:
Our AOMS TOT sr creates PLY and XYZ files. The XYZ file will be used in the AOMS systems to produce orthotics. The PLY file can be used for other purposes. If you really need OBJ or STL files, you can use MeshLab to convert the PLY files to OBJ or STL files. MeshLab is a free program which can be found online.
The voice-control function which is used in the AOMS TOT jr is not currently used in the new AOMS TOT sr. You may consider that there are pros and cons with the new AOMS TOT sr. In future, we consider adding the voice-control function in the TOT sr. Except this difference, the rest of the operations are about the same as demonstrated in the AOMS TOT jr Setup and Tutorial page. So if you want to get basic training, just visit that page. For tutorials made for AOMS TOT sr specifically, please continue to read.
A good news for iPad users:
Some users prefer using iPads instead of iPhones. Somehow iPads are more attractive to patients. Previously a lot of iPads are not compatible with the AOMS TOT jr. With the AOMS TOT sr, you have broader boundaries in choosing iPads. We have tested the iPad Pro 11‑inch (4th generation) which was purchased in March 2023. If you must use iPad, now you have the choice of using AOMS TOT sr, which is a good new for you. However, if you still need to know more about the compatibility requirements, please email us.
Integrate a low-cost 3D laser foot scanner:
A 3D laser foot scanner used to cost several thousand US dollars some ten years ago. Now you can have it for around $250. Here is how. Search and buy 'iPhone XR' on Amazon or at similar places. The current price is around $200. Then go to Apple App Store and download 'AOMS TOT sr' for $50. At the cost of $250, you will have a 3D laser foot scanner at hands. You do not need the phone service for the scanner and you just need the free WiFi in your office or home. Although at low-cost, it is not inferior though. You have all the ingredient of making a laser-precision 3D scanner. Inside the TrueDepth camera built in the iPhone XR there is a laser pattern generator. Although the laser dots are not visible through naked eyes, the TrueDepth camera with laser could create more accurate 3D images than a regular camera could. By the way, in the following tutorial videos, we use an iPhone XR for demonstration.
Please also note:
We are a small business and our manpower is very limited. Although we are making our best efforts to make things happen sooner, we often face delays in accomplishing our goals. These delays happen more often when a new product is about to release, or just been released. So please give us some time and you are helping a small local business to survive. With your help, we can bring the new technologies closer to you.
AOMS TOT sr Tutorials
Tutorial #-1: AOMS TOT sr foot scanning distance'AOMS TOT sr foot scanning distance' means two things.
1. The initial distance. It is the starting distance when you tap the red circle and the iOS device starts to tick (shake). This distance is as close as possible. Here is the elaboration. If the distance is too close, you will lose some part of the foot, such as the toes or the heel. Just move close and stop before losing any part of the foot, that distance is the ideal distance to start with. It is like a portrait of the foot on a canvas.
2. The scanning distance. It is the swinging and rotating distance during scanning. This distance can be a little farther away from the foot, compared with 'the initial distance'. Here is the elaboration. If the distance is too far, you will lose tracking stability and the scanning may terminate unexpectedly. Just swing the iOS device around the heel and lateral and medial sides of the foot and watch the stability of the 3D image.
Practice makes a big difference. So practice by referring to the tutorials in this website.
