Researchers at MIT devised a novel solution to 3D-scan the jaw of a T-rex, using Microsoft's Kinect sensor, and some free software, instead of high-res 3D scanners that cost up to 200 times more.

Researchers from MIT have developed a system that relies on the Microsoft Kinect, and that is able to produce 3D scans that are 1,000 times more accurate than scanning techniques previously used.

It's hard to deny the fact that the Kinect has all but failed as a gaming device. Despite their initial decisions, Microsoft stopped including the… ...

University of California, San Diego students preparing for a future archaeological dig to Jordan will likely pack a Microsoft Kinect, but it won’t be used for post-dig, all-night gaming marathons.

MIT's Camera Culture group has been able to successfully capture a high-resolution 3D scan of a Tyrannosaurus rex skull using about $150 worth of equipment and some free software. The skull, which ...

Of course, a portabalized Kinect 3D scanner has been done before, but that was with an absurdly expensive Gumstix board.

If you want to do some 3D scanning, you usually have to get either a dedicated scanner or a less-than-elegant add-on. Microsoft Research and the University of Oxford think there's a better way ...

French startup Manctl has created a working answer to the question, "Have you ever wanted to produce a full-colour 3D model of your house?" Its solution was to use Microsoft's Kinect for Windows ...

Microsoft puts mixed reality, high-speed 3D rendering, and Kinect vision into cloud HoloLens 2 isn't the only part of Microsoft's plans for augmented reality.

Rather than using lasers like many other 3D scanners, Fraunhofer's device functions more like Microsoft's Kinect, projecting an invisible near-infrared pattern onto whatever it's scanning.
