Joey Hudy returns to Maker Faire to present his senior project at ASU-HYSA: a full-body 3D scanner.
It works by rotating a person on a small wooden platform while a stepper motor raises and lowers a PrimeSense kinect clone so it can scan your entire body using Skanect software. It generates a array of dots and then creates the mesh from the dots.
Joey’s presentation will take place at Sunday, 3:00pm on the 3D Printing Stage. He’ll talk about how he made three different full-body scanners, how he ended up choosing the right sensor for his project, and his experience demoing the scanner at SIGGRAPH last July.
If you don’t know about Joey, he’s a 16-year-old maker who sells kits and got to meet the President. His mentor in the scanning project is Professor David Tinapple of ASU’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts.
