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.

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.

Of course, a portabalized Kinect 3D scanner has been done before, but that was with an absurdly expensive Gumstix board.

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 ...

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.

Microsoft shouted out Orbbec’s new Femto Bolt, a device very similar to the Azure Kinect DK, as providing the hardware necessary for those still interested in working with 3D depth camera ...

If you want to do some 3D scanning, you usually have to get either a dedicated scanner or a less-than-elegant add-on. Microsoft Research and the University of Oxford think there's a better way ...

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 ...
