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.

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… ...

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
