3D imaging/modeling with Xbox's Kinnect

[Cryptic]

Well this is pretty badass... A quick way of getting a scalable 3D model into a CAD program with an Xbox Kinect and ReconstructMe (http://reconstructme.net/)

This could of saved me a lot of time had I known about it.

Super cool!

I saw a thread on reddit this week where some dude had made a 4" tall 3d model of himself using kinect for the face.

Wow... thats pretty epic. Can you combine them? Say.. the trans/tunnel to make this usable for anything other than making pretty pictures?

I wonder if it can export the files?

you export the models into 3D software


The result can be exported to various CAD formats such as STL, OBJ, 3DS, and PLY.

I wonder how accurately it can model the surfaces?

I have a seat of SolidWorks and my plan is to eventually get a 3d scanner. I want to reverse engineer a variety of car and other machine components.

That link mentions the Asus Xtion. I'm looking into this.
