http://www.creaform3d.com/en/handyscan3d/products/viuscan.aspx - Once again, Creaform pushes the limits of portable 3D scanning with the introduction of the VIUscan™. This new self-positioning scanner opens the door to quick, affordable and accurate color scanning processes. With this breakthrough scanner, Handyscan 3D definitely shifts to 4D!
Part of a well-renowned line-up of advanced 3D scanners, the VIUscan is the only truly portable handheld 3D color scanner to deliver such accurate and hyperrealistic results.
Applications
Entertainment/Multimedia: Face/body still scans for realistic human representation, special effects or face replacement (stunts). Digitizing of real life inanimate objects/environments for optimum realism, production of full size decors through the digitizing of small scale maquettes.
Museology/Heritage Preservation: Representation of art pieces for multimedia presentations, virtual museums (Web,
on-site), digital archiving, production of replicas for commercial and marketing purposes (ex.: scaled down version of statues), damage assessment, restoration of cultural heritage (reverse engineering/repairs based on remains), virtual restoration, 3D reproduction of archaeological/historical sites, scanning of fossils, scanning of fossils for analysis, reconstitution and reconstruction purposes.
E-Marketing/Web Development: Scanning of objects for interactive 3D content (e.g. product animation or visualization in 3D for online sales), production of 3D models for web design.
Industrial Design: Reverse engineering (design from existing color objects), design from scaled down color maquettes, coloured or annotated clay models, shape and color part inspection, technical documentation (assembly, maintenance and repair document), 3D collaboration.
Other applications include 3D scanning of existing objects, 3D archiving, forensics, artistic and medical applications, complex shape acquisition, measurements archiving, damage assessment, digital models and mock-ups and rapid prototyping.
VIUscan Features & Benefits
The VIUscan boasts a wide array of highly innovative and powerful features.
High resolution and accuracy: Captures every detail and delivers high resolution and accurate geometry and textures, for an exact representation of the object.
Truly portable: Fits in a case the size of a carry-on suitcase, easy to carry on the job site.
Automatic 100% accurate texture mapping: The texture and geometry of the object are automatically acquired in one and the same reference system and aligned together with 100% accuracy, eliminating the alignment step usually required after scanning.
Adjustable and uniform texture resolution: The output file shows uniform DPI resolution throughout the whole model and from every viewing angle, which is a great feature when scanning strong curvature forms.
True color acquisition: Thanks to the built-in lighting system, the scanner acquires sRGB-calibrated colours, regardless of the ambient light conditions.
Optimal file size: The resolution parameters make it possible to increase/decrease the texture and geometry resolution at will, and independently of one another, so to create files of optimum size and quality.
User-friendly and easy to learn: The scanning process is virtually plug & play! No particular technical skills are required from the user.
Versatile: The device can be used virtually anywhere and under any conditions, since it's lightweight, handheld and requires no external reference system.
Self-positioning: No external tracking or positioning devices are needed. The innovative positioning targets allow the operator to move the object any way he wants.
Dual scanning mode: The top-mounted press button enables the operator to switch between color-textured geometry scanning or geometry scanning only. The latter can be selected to reduce the size of the final file, when colour acquisition is not necessary.
Affordable system: Competitively priced, no time-consuming setups, requires very low maintenance.

Very easy if you spend at least 30.000usd!
