Scientist Creates 3D Scanner App For iPhone

Posted by timothy on from the end-platen-nudity dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A research scientist at Georgia Tech has created a 3D scanner app for the iPhone which uses the phone's screen as a light source to quickly capture digital 3D models of faces and other objects. The app, called Trimensional, can output directly to a 3D printer to make physical copies of objects, which a few people have already tried. An Android version is in the works."

    Yes, I know this is different. I don't care.

    You should care because you sound like an idiot. The 'Sony Bloggie' is for capturing stereo footage, not scanning in 3D.
