DAVID 3D laserscan software

"All you need is a PC, a camera (e.g. a webcam), a background corner, **and a laser**"

Anyone got a spare laser around the house?

Holy shmoley... is this for real? In that case, "Look out Universal Studios, your days at sandy Florida is numbered"

Aw shucks, now where did I put my laser? Seriously, wtf?

"but it looks very cool for anyone thinking about scanning your own head, your cat, or something else in 3D"

eh, maybe if the cat is dead itll sit still long enough to allow being scanned

Its actually pretty cheap to setup a system to do the scanning. For mine, I bought a 50 dollar web cam from best buy, and a 20 dollar laser level from home depot.

That's really cool, reminds me of a different one that uses a camera and a projector that I've seen.

http://www.3d3solutions.com - It pretty low cost too, and the results look a lot more usable.

this sounds amazing.

And guess what I got for Christmas?

A laser pointer!

One end has the laser, the other a regular pen as well as a plastic tip you can use to write on a PCtablet.

I wonder how I make certain the laser pointer scans everything, since i'd have to do it by hand.

But I'll go for the software and give it a try.

Sounds cool.

sounds cool to me, if its real.

And Harbor Freight is have a sale on their laser lever, utnil the middle of January--I think it was $5, which is a steal.

And guess what I got for Christmas--a real laser pointer, with the laser on one end, a pen on the other, with a plastic tip that can be used to scribe on a PC tablet.

This sounds like a cool program. but how do you scan your ownself in? Keep one eye closed while you point the laser at one side of your face and then close the other other for the other side of the face? Sounds a little like sitting on a xerox or fax machine and mailing your friends or enemies, the resulting picture.

Well, I'm off to download the software.

Thanks for the info.

btw, where is the download for this?

I found it at the site, in the first link--available in German only. but beside it is a ball that cycles yellow and red colors.
Does this mean it's not available anymore?
If so, anyone want to shoot me a copy of it?
Or tell me where the link is?
Thanks, Bob

I have downloaded david software,but when I run it,some parts of the dialog didn't appear.So I can't use it properly! Is there anyone that came to this problem before? Help me please!
