The world's first cloud-based 3D Scanner | Volumental. Marvelousdesigner. eBay acquires PhiSix, which lets users try on 3D clothes virtually. While online shopping can make buying the latest gear easier, there are some downsides -- like not being able to try on clothes. eBay appears to be all too aware of this issue, especially when it comes to item returns. In an effort to make it easier for shoppers and to cut down on returns, the e-commerce giant announced on Wednesday that it acquired 3D virtual clothing try-on company PhiSix.

PhiSix is a computer graphics company that creates 3D models of jeans, button-up shirts, dresses, and other clothing from photos, pattern files, and other sources. These models simulate how a piece of clothing looks on different sized people. "PhiSix's technology enables consumers to understand the fit and movement of clothes in an online shopping environment," eBay vice president of Innovation and New Ventures Steve Yankovich said in a statement. Not only can users see how an item will fit, but the technology also recommends sizes for people based on their measurements.

Gizmodo. 3D Scanning, Hacking, and Printing in Art Museums, for the Masses. «3D Printing. You've heard the term everywhere lately, from Popular Science magazine to tech blogs, to President Obama's State of the Union address. Advocates of this technology claim that 3D printers will revolutionize manufacturing, health care, education, design, space exploration, time travel, and countless other fields. While they may not help us travel back in time, 3D printers sure are neat, and new applications of these tools are being developed every day.»

At the Met, we've been exploring ways that 3D technologies can be used by everyday visitors to enhance their museum experience. Knowing that not everyone has a 3D printer or amazing tech skills, my team and I are focusing on tools and activities that are accessible to a wide range of people. In upcoming articles, I'll go into each area in detail, but I wanted to start by providing an overview of the software, hardware, and best practices involved in entering the wonderful world of 3D. 123D Catch turns pictures into 3D models! 3D Laser Body Scanner-Shanghai Shuzao electrical technology co., LTD. 3D Laser body scanner scanning data Technical parameters : 1) scan head number: 4 2) camera resolution: 640X480 3) Scanning Method: linar Laser scanning 4) scanning range: 1000 mm x 800 MMX 2000 mm (high) 5): scanning accuracy is better than 1%; 6) scanning point space: 1~ 2.5mm( can be set) 7) the whole body scan points: 10~30 million. 8) scanning speed: 50~120mm/s adjustable, typically 10 seconds. 9) size : 2000mmX2000mmX2500mm Optional body measurement software(TC2), containing the following functions: * Can automatically measure more than 120 important human dimension * Scanning data visualization * Support for multiple scanning, such as standing and sitting * Automatic data processing * 3D visualization.

Advantages. 1 full scan, no dead area; 2 laser also ring high speed scanning, scanning is not afraid of human; 3 fast scan, the scanning time of less than 20 seconds; 4. Applications: Human body measument virtual dressing 3D body scan and 3D printing. ReconstructMe | Real-time 3D Model Reconstruction. Rubicon 3D scanner. Simple and cost-effective 3d scanner. Rubicon 3D is a simple, yet powerful 3d scanner that will enable its users to turn real world objects into virtual 3d models. How it works: Webcam takes a picture of an object on the turntable with both lasers on and off, then the software looks for differences in those pictures to detect the shape of your object.

Next the turntable turns 0.45 degrees and the process repeats. 800 steps for a full 360° revolution. What comes out: After the scanning is complete, you would be able to export either a raw hi-polygon mesh or have it structured and optimized. Scanning small objects: ( right click + View Image to see big picture ) Examples: sample scan - vasesample scan - frogsample scan - knight What makes us special: * Webcam is not included.

With current setup you can scan objects up to 160mm in diameter and about 250mm in height, but since the camera is movable, even bigger objects might fit in. What do we need the funding for: When will the scanner be ready: 3d scan. ReconstructMe | Real-time 3D Model Reconstruction. The Structure Sensor is the first 3D sensor for mobile devices.
