Quick, High-Res 3D Scanning Technology
Posted Thursday, June 29th, 2006, at 9:16 am Eastern by Mark Wallace
Just stumbled on Realscan 3D, a company that does “mobile 3D scanning.” It sounds like they have a fast and accurate way of creating animatable 3D models by scanning real-life objects, including people. The company has done work for movies, and for game-makers Nintendo and Midway, among other people. Their technology apparently gets all the information it needs within a matter of seconds, in many cases. I’m sure it’s dead expensive still, but it’s interesting in terms of the ability to get reproductions of real objects into virtual worlds.
