ReconstructMe with Glasses

7 Replies

Inspired by ideas of MagWeb, Tony Buser has done an awesome glasses mod with the Kinect and ReconstructMe. He got +2.5 reading glasses and fixed them in front of the kinect. It is a bit difficult to get a complete scan with these as the image is distored, but the result looks really excellent:


The mod looks really cool, I am amazed that this actually works… It definitely shows that adding a lens to the Kinect might be a good solution to be able to scan small parts. The difficult part will be to provide a calibration method that can successfully undistort the data.

Here are the settings Tony Buser has used for this scan:

    AMAZING! I can’t wait to try it myself, has anyone tried the Nyko Zoom to obtain a similar result? I have one but haven’t attempted to use it.

      Hi Parker, note that the Nyko Zoom lense is actually a wide-angle lense which causes less resolution due to a wider field of view.

      No, not really. We basically just read the papers that come out and implement that

    Here is mom&dad. I made special goggles with CNC and asked a watch repairmen to cut three +2.5 glasses for me.
