View the presentation [In French]

During this presentation, we will discuss the different steps to follow in the creation of textured 3D models of human beings using specialized hardware and software tools. The presenter will also talk about the wide range of applications that are possible today thanks to 3D digitizing technology. From animation to medical imaging and 3D photography for mass consumers, the audience members will be invited to travel between the real and virtual worlds to end up realizing that the boundary between both is becoming more and more blurry with each passing day.

Numérisation d’une personne par la technologie 3D d’InSpeck. Le modèle 3D de son visage pourra être utilisé pour des applications comme les effets spéciaux cinématographiques, la création de jeux vidéo et l’animation.
