His first build involves gluing a small square mirror ... at the mirror draws a perfect line across whatever medium he is scanning. His second line laser uses parts donated from an old hard ...

The reason for the high-speed micro is the need to control the scanning signals based on the measured tunnelling current to form a control loop. We didn’t dig into precisely how that works!

Laser scanning technology for building security applications utilises the time-of-flight method, in which a sensor emits a pulse that is then reflected by a target, if present. The time required for ...

Scanning was then extended to a further 14 ... Archaeologists then spent more than two years mapping buildings, including God's House Tower and The Undercroft. People can now explore them on ...

However, this humble device (V1 launched 14 years ago by Microsoft) is perfect for 3D scanning. While the Kinect may not match the precision of professional 3D scanners, it offers an accessible ...
