What I find amusing is the company has chosen a simple JPG image to demonstrate a device that does 3D.

I had more fun with Quicktime VR

Using Maya You can animate...

Don't say that is the "first". In our school there are a lot of projects.

If you want a cheap DIY 3D scanner, there is an awesome free software project from some German professors (don't worry its in english). All you need is a webcam or camcorder and a cheap laser level. In fact, any laser that projects a straight line will do, and any laser pointer will do with an appropriate plastic lens on the front that turns the dot into a line. On the website they have some examples for the cheapest way to do this.

Also this would be nice for online purchasing so you can see everything up close and personal..... A few years and maybe but its nice to dream......]]>Jan 8th 2009 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/realview-unveils-three-3d-desktop-scanners/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/realview-unveils-three-3d-desktop-scanners/Jan 8th 2009 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/realview-unveils-three-3d-desktop-scanners/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/realview-unveils-three-3d-desktop-scanners/Maybe I'm missing something, maybe the arm can move up and down?]]>Jan 8th 2009 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/realview-unveils-three-3d-desktop-scanners/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/realview-unveils-three-3d-desktop-scanners/
This is one that I have seen, appears they have a new HD version as well.

2) Polygon model with color (STL, obj, vrml, etc) you can make an animation (maya), or print a replica (Z Corp) or machine a replica (Roland). Editable only in scale, and by deforming surfaces, not a CAD file

3) a CAD model with parametric editable features, see Rapidform XOR at Rapidform.com (not automatic, but alot quicker than anything else for complexity and accuracy)

Re the shadowed parts, the software is available to register scans from different set-ups, (e.g., a scan set around the equator, and a set around the poles). e.g. rapidform XOS.

+1 on Next Engine being the first consumer grade desktop scanner

Yes, I work for Rapidform]]>Jan 9th 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/realview-unveils-three-3d-desktop-scanners/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/realview-unveils-three-3d-desktop-scanners/https://www.nextengine.com/
