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.

Microsoft is bringing the ability to accurately scan 3D objects to the masses. On Monday, the company announced that it was working on a software update for its Kinect for Windows motion ...

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 ...

All pretty impressive in their own right. No doubt feeling a little left out, one of Microsoft’s own research teams has come up with a way of using Kinect as a completely affordable 3D scanner.

Microsoft has previously demonstrated the capabilities of Kinect Fusion, using the technology to make a 3D scan of Sir Isaac Newton’s death mask, cast from Newton’s face following his death.

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 ...

Kinect Fusion, the company explained in a blog post, uses the sensor's depth data to create detailed 3D models by scanning real-world objects or surroundings.

Microsoft has formally launched the latest Software Development Kit (SDK) for its Kinect for Windows depth-sensing camera platform, bringing official 3D scanning capabilities to the device for the ...

It's hard to deny the fact that the Kinect has all but failed as a gaming device. Despite their initial decisions, Microsoft stopped including the… ...

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.
