Handyscan 3D Sneak Preview: Creaform Shifts to 4D and Pre-Releases the VIUscanTM 3D Color Scanner
The new handheld color scanner will be shown at Siggraph 2008
Los Angeles, August 12, 2008, Exhibit #453 - Creaform, developer and manufacturer of the well-known Handyscan 3D line-up of handheld and self-positioning laser scanners, once again pushes the limits of portable 3D scanning and introduces its newest and most innovative product: the VIUscanTM, a self-positioning handheld and high resolution portable 3D color scanner.
The VIUscan color laser scanner can achieve hyperrealistic results thanks to features such as simultaneous texture and geometry acquisition, real-time rendering, true color acquisition through a built-in lighting system, adjustable uniform texture resolution and automatic 100 percent-accurate texture mapping.
Like its fellow scanners from the Handyscan 3D line-up, the VIUscan is a very accurate, easy to learn and use, and versatile device.
