3D Scan Example

Extra bonus going-ons at the Makers Local public night this week (Tuesday, Nov 6th)!

Photographs are so passé. Videos still lack depth. We live in a three-dimensional world, so why should we represent it in just two dimensions? This week, during the normal Makers Local public night, we will have a setup that will allow you to be digitized and archived as a three-dimensional computer model!

Using the power of the Microsoft Kinect and a desktop computer, we will be making models of whoever wishes to be scanned. These models can then be imported into video games, used in animations, printed on 3D printers, and more! We can do headshots, and will hopefully be able to get some full-body model files as well.

Scanning will probably start around 7:00PM. We’ll have some snacks and sodas, and probably some extra Halloween candy, and feel free to bring your own food and treats!
