Last month a big story made the rounds about a pair of artists who surreptitiously captured a high-quality 3D scan of the bust of Nefertiti, currently on display at the Neues Museum in Berlin. According to the accompanying video the 3D scan was done using a Kinect hidden under the scarf of one of Nora Al-Badri while Jan Nikolai Nelles recorded the stunt. Sadly, what many in the 3D printing and 3D scanning community suspected from the beginning is likely true; the story is almost certainly entirely made up. 3D scanning experts and debunked the possibility that a Kinect could ever have captured such a high-quality 3D scan, especially the way it was depicted in the video. What remains now is to find out why the artists lied, and where exactly the 3D scan came from. Find out more over on 3DPrint.com: http://3dprint.com/123368/covert-scan-nefertiti-fake/
