Bartlett Summer Show 2010 3D Scan from ScanLAB on Vimeo.
Above is a fly-through of a 3D Laser Scan of an exhibition at the Bartlett School of Architecture Gallery. They used a Faro Photon 120 laser scanner (Which runs at about $40k). Software that enables navigation is Pointools, a generic point cloud model software that allows for some of the largest point cloud models – multi-billion point datasets. Visualizing this amount of points is not really doable in Processing or C++ without custom hardware acceleration setups. These drawings represent the closest record to an as built drawing set for the entire exhibition and an ‘as was’ representation of the Bartlett’s year.
The 3D model was produced using a Faro Photon 120 laser scanner ($40k). Software that enables navigation is Pointools, generic point cloud model software that allows for some of the largest point cloud models – multi-billion point datasets.
