3D Scanning

Creating a model of a real life object sounded like a fun idea to me. I spent a bit of money and purchased a refurbished xBox Kinect sensor (https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-XBOX-Kinect-Sensor-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B005GA1H4C). Then I downloaded the free version of Scanect (http://skanect.occipital.com/). Here's a resulting scan I made of myself:

I'm not happy enough with the results to pay the $130 price for the full license of Scanect. I suspect it's because I was using my MacBook Pro and that if I had a better PC with a high-end graphics card, the model would be much more accurate.

  1. 3D laser scanning has so many advantages. One of the best advantages is it can collect data of an object so quickly and the collected data is so accurate. If you need the best 3D laser scanning service then you can visit our site.
