3D printing provocateur Todd Blatt<\/a> may be the first person to 3D scan an object in a public place using Google Glass.<\/p>\n

Walking around the Walters Art Museum<\/a> in Baltimore Todd, simply chose an item, walked around it whilst muttering to himself\/Glass and walked away with enough images to convert into a 3D model using 123D Catch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“I just walked around the work, repeating, “ok glass, take a picture” over and over, 30 shots in total.  No real care in aiming the shot.  I just looked at it and that’s it.  Then I manually uploaded the photos from Google Autobackup to 123D Catch on my computer and proceeded as normal…”<\/font><\/em><\/h5>\n<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

“Since the museum is free, I wandered in, and looked for a good piece to scan.  I’ve scanned over a dozen in the museum so far, mostly at the Artbytes Hackathon, but I somehow missed Marcus Aurelius last time.  It was literally a stroll-by scan job.  I was in and out of the museum in under 10 minutes, and captured a few sculptures.   I just walked around the work, repeating, “ok glass, take a picture” over and over, 30 shots in total.  No real care in aiming the shot.  I just looked at it and that’s it.  Then I manually uploaded the photos from Google Autobackup to 123D Catch on my computer and proceeded as normal with the regular scanning\/123d process.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We already have this capability with our smart phones to create 3D scans but the concept of being able to walk into a room and surreptitiously 3D scan an object just by looking at it may send some galleries into a panic.  Many cultural institutions are already engaging and encouraging people to 3D scan and mash-up their artifacts such as The MET with their 3D print hackathon<\/a> and the Smithsonian working to 3D digitize some of their artifacts<\/a> that will help to bring their collection out of the museums and into people’s lives. You can get your 3D print of Todd’s scan now via Shapeways<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
