Eora scanner
Has anyone heard from them before ?

This looks a bit more thought out than the last featured : at least the target specs are clear.

When it was mentioned near the start of August, the Eora initially felt like a re-attempt at the failed Mo3dls scanner:

The Eora looks more polished as a product and the video shows the laser projection scanning across where the Mo3dls' laser was fixed relying on the turntable. In turntable-mode, perhaps the Eora's laser will remain stationary too. This type of scanning results in protruding parts obscuring some areas... much like the area beside the nose on the Mo3dls scan picture.
The big question will be whether the Eora scanner will do turntable scans in each direction (to capture protrusion obstructions) and even automatically fill-in/stitch the appropriate areas.
Would've liked to see them post some initial sample meshes to evaluate. I'm sure there'll be plenty of requests once their Kickstarter begins.

The eora 3D team has taken 3D scanning to the most concise, high quality, and completely affordable level as possible, allowing users to connect the cylindrical device to their smartphones, operating through the free eora 3D mobil app. Communicating through Bluetooth, the scanner users a laser to create the image which is then analyzed through the phone, and reconstructed in 3D. The eora team has just launched a Kickstarter campaign, allowing early bird supporters to order the innovative, handheld scanner for just $199, along with the Bluetooth Turntable for $259.

so $458 and you have to buy the phone yourself.
I guess if it works could be worth it.
Ah - found a fairly serious snag:and should you wish to make models larger than 3’ x 3’, stitch the together as well
If it's feet - ignore everything that comes next :-)
Scanner on a phone people will automatically think it'll be point and scan at things like: cars, friends, dogs etc.
How much stitching will a full size person take ? And how many scans can you try and stitch together before your smartphone's cpu panics and sets itself on fire :-)Last edited by curious aardvark; 10-20-2015 at 11:03 AM.
