    Hey guys,

    I'm working on a 3D scanner for color full body scans and I was wondering if anyone here has experience or advice on what works best. The 2 designs I'm thinking about are a kinect based solution that has multiple Microsoft kinects attached to an arm that pivots around the scanning platform, and a photogrammetry solution that uses 20-40 cameras fixed in a ring around the subject. Which do you think would work best for scanning at a live event? Any particular pitfalls I would watch out for? Thanks!

    With welcome.

    Here from their site ,they are in UK it can be visible how many photo cameras are used <a href="http://www.ten24.info/?page_id=302" target="_blank"></a>

    A good clue to develop some.

    hey,

    we scanned over 5,000 people using Occipital's Skanect and a kinect.

    It is the best

    Cool, thanks. Any advice for getting a decent scan from the kinect?
