Me in 3D

My friend Andy made this 3D rendering of me using LIDAR (Laser Detection and Ranging). In the first image you can see me holding up my hand along with a number of file cabinets. The cube in the center is a table used to calibrate the device.

In this shot I’m holding up a backpack.

The rendering software can manipulate the points and map the scene from any angle after the data capture. In these next shots I’m isolated from the background.
