3D Scanning Lunch - Pictures and Videos!

Thanks to those of you that attended yesterday's innovation lunch about 3D scanning! Here are some pictures from the event.

Martin scans a participant with the Microsoft Kinect

The 3D scanner used was a Microsoft Kinect combined with Skanect software. In case you missed it at the lunch, here is a quick (2 minute) video on how the Kinect depth sensor works.

Also available was the Leap Motion. A quick (also 2 minute) video by CNET news shows how the Leap Motion works!

Some applications of the Leap Motion are:

• Heart surgery
• Sign language translation

Alex experiments with the Leap Motion

More information on next month's innovation lunch is coming soon!
