Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a relatively inexpensive and easily movable three-dimensional (3D) body scanner.Design/methodology/approachMultiple depth perception cameras and a turntable were used to form the hardware and a client-server computer network was used to control the hardware.FindingsA portable and inexpensive yet quite accurate body scanner system has been developed.Research limitations/implicationsThe turntable mechanism and semi-automatic model alignment caused some error.Practical implicationsThis scanner is expected to facilitate the acquisition of 3D human body or garment data easily for various research projects.Social implicationsMany researchers might have an easy access to 3D data of large object such as body or whole garment.Originality/valueInexpensive yet expandable scanning system has been developed using readily available components.
