3D Scanners

If you need an object 3D scanned within sub-millimeter accuracy, we host a Revopoint MIRACO Plus structured-light scanner designed for scanning both large and small objects. Please contact us in advance to find out if your part is compatible with our scanner.

For large-scale scanning of rooms and building interiors, we offer a Matterport Pro2 camera by special request. To better understand this scanner’s capabilities, watch this VR tour overview video of the Invention Studio:

Visualization

Needing to share your XR experiences with a group? For all your screencasting needs, we host a wall of 6 65” OLED TVs, a mobile TV equipped for videoconferencing, and a Panasonic overhead projector. Chromecast (4x) and Apple TV (5x) streaming devices are distributed amongst this equipment, ensuring your creations can be shared with a larger audience, regardless of the method.

 
Software

Our standalone headsets are pre-equipped with a variety of software, enabling immersive 3D creation and collaboration with applications for both productivity and play. The XR Tool Group has experience working with Unity for developing PCVR standalone, Meta Quest, and Microsoft HoloLens applications. We additionally possess knowledge in various CAD software and Blender for cleaning up 3D scans.
