FARO SCANNER - Point cloud information

FARO SCANNER - The first results

Here are a couple first images we got from our first scan in the Coyler Fergusson Building at The University of Kent. 

We are currently in the process of analysing the scans and seeing what detail we has been captured using Recap 360 before taking this information into 3D Studio Max, or Rhino where we hope to be able to manipulate and experiment with it. 

We have been working closely with Julian Soosaipillai from the Kent School of Architecture who is pushing us to try and go beyond using the scanner for the basic of functions. The more we experiment and ask him questions it helps us to learn but it also stretches his knowledge of the scanner and its capabilities.

FARO SCANNER - Trial 1

Today a small group of us used the FARO scanner for the first time. We decided to use the Coyler Fergusson building as our chosen space to scan. The music department were very supportive and allowed us access to the main hall.

We were being shown how to use the scanner, what the safety measures are when using the scanner and finally we wanted to know what its capabilities were. We were also trialling using small black and white pieces of card rather than the mounted 'footballs' as this would be a much easier method.

We took four scans at different places around the space trying to capture different elements of the concert hall. It was interesting to see how much information and detail it could 'see' and how it worked with glass. I eagerly look forward to seeing the scans once they have been 'stitched together'.
