3D is eating the world
October 2014 I [email protected] I sketchfab.com I @sketchfab
3D scanning, also known as 3D capture or 3D reconstruction, is a technology to capture the world around us in its 3 dimensions, the output being a 3D file. Some technologies leverage photography, others require depth sensors like a structure or a kinect device.
This amazing technology is rapidly getting into the mainstream and available on our mobile devices, letting anyone capture the world as it is: in 3D. What follows is a review of various 3D scanning technologies with results on Sketchfab. Each preview is clickable and opens a 3D model.
Disclaimer: This is a work in progress, and we are only reviewing here technologies which results have been published on Sketchfab. Want your solution to be added? Reach out to [email protected]
