ShapeScale uses advanced 3D scanning technology to create a detailed digital model of the user's body. The key components are:

Depth Camera

ShapeScale employs a depth camera powered by Intel RealSense technology. This camera uses stereo vision principles, similar to human binocular vision, to perceive depth accurately.

Scanning Process

When a user stands on the ShapeScale platform, a robotic arm equipped with the RealSense camera system rotates around them. The depth sensor captures a dense depth map, where each pixel represents the distance from the camera to a specific point on the body.

Color Camera

Simultaneously, a high-resolution color camera captures images at 4208x3120 pixels.

3D Model Creation

ShapeScale's software synchronizes the depth data with the color information to generate a point cloud - a set of data points in 3D space representing the surface of the body. This results in a colored 3D representation comprising over 15 million points, accurate to within a millimeter.

Cloud Processing

The raw data is securely uploaded to the Shape Cloud, where powerful algorithms refine it to create a photorealistic 3D model of the user's body.
