It’s a Kinect-based 3D scanner (translated) that has been made mostly from parts lying around the shop. There are 2 main components to the hardware-side of this build; the Kinect Stand and the ...

The old gen 1 Kinect has seen a fair bit of use in the field of making 3D scans out of real world scenes. Now that Xbox 360 Kinects are winding up at yard sales and your local Goodwill, you might e… ...

University of California, San Diego students preparing for a future archaeological dig to Jordan will likely pack a Microsoft Kinect, but it won’t be used for post-dig, all-night gaming marathons.

A proof of concept prototype handheld 3D scanner has been created by Mario Lukas, using a Microsoft Xbox Kinect motion sensor and the small single board Raspberry Pi mini PC. The Raspberry Pi ...

That is the very mission that Mario Lukas set out to do, to build a handheld 3D scanner made from affordable off shelf components, like, say, a Microsoft Kinect and the latest Raspberry Pi 2.

Researchers at MIT devised a novel solution to 3D-scan the jaw of a T-rex, using Microsoft's Kinect sensor, and some free software, instead of high-res 3D scanners that cost up to 200 times more.

Researchers from MIT have developed a system that relies on the Microsoft Kinect, and that is able to produce 3D scans that are 1,000 times more accurate than scanning techniques previously used.

MIT's Camera Culture group has been able to successfully capture a high-resolution 3D scan of a Tyrannosaurus rex skull using about $150 worth of equipment and some free software. The skull, which ...

Introduced in 2010, Microsoft Kinect uses infrared cameras to produce a 3D mesh that covers objects and people in a room, creating a detailed depth map of the space.

Consumer-grade 3D scanners tend to only handle small items, or scan with a low resolution. Now Fraunhofer has unveiled its new 3D scanner that uses infrared rays to capture objects and people in ...

French startup Manctl has created a working answer to the question, "Have you ever wanted to produce a full-colour 3D model of your house?" Its solution was to use Microsoft's Kinect for Windows ...
