Check out Creaform’s new VIUscan which is a portable 3D scanner. Creaform has pushed the limits of portable 3D scanning with the introduction of the VIUscan, a self-positioning handheld and high resolution portable 3D color scanner.

The VIUscan color laser scanner can achieve hyper realistic results thanks to features such as simultaneous texture and geometry acquisition, real-time rendering, true color acquisition through a built-in lighting system, adjustable uniform texture resolution and automatic 100 percent-accurate texture mapping.

This highly versatile device does not need a rocket science degree holder to operate, and is currently being exhibited at SIGGRAPH 2008 this week.
