And it all happens in real time. Watch just the first demonstration and you can see the system “painting” a 3D model of the room as quickly as the researcher can move the Kinect around.

Certainly, these 3D models aren't very high resolution; you can tell what the items are, but not in great detail – and the team had to use specific lighting to bring out the effect.

This impressive new project from Google researchers puts the subject in the center of what can only be described as an prismatic LED egg, but the resulting 3D models are remarkable — and more ...

This short film for primary schools offers a step-by-step guide to making a 3D room out of card. Advice is given about which tools to use, folding and joining techniques are explained, as well as ...

However, while models like EG3D can produce 3D images that are near photorealistic, they can be difficult to edit in design software, because although the result is an image we can see, how the ...
