3D Scanning
Beam yourself into the virtual world at Platform21
- 16 Aug 08...16 Aug 08
Scan yourself in 3D at Platform21!
3D scanning enabled visitors to make up an idea for a scan without a lot of technical knowledge. All you had to do was to make a model; scan it in and then make improvements or changes; mix yourself and your avatar – it was all possible when you made your own 3D manifestation at Platform21. And we added it to our virtual space: Platform21 in Google Earth.
For this experiment, we used open source software called DAVID-Laserscanner developed by Simon Winkelbach and Sven Molkenstruck www.david-laserscanner.com.
3D Scanning was part of Checking 3D Reality, a project of Sergio Davila. Davila was present to help you and make you virtual.
