Hi Chris and Nick,

thanks for your expertise on this. one more question is what’s the best and suitable scan device for furniture ? Artec Eva? (but seems it can’t handle specular surface?) but furniture has some characteristics that some scanner can’t meet : such as specular / black surface , some has much small details , ect. So from you experience , what scanner device is best for scan most of furniture so far. thanks.

Thanks for the additional info, Chis.

The Space Spider is scheduled to be reviewed very soon.

Hello Jiexu,

It should be able to scan stainless steel but if it is really shiny it might have a little hard time. We usually spray the shiny objects with a developer spray. The Artec Space Spider scans shiny objects much better due to the fact it is using Blue Light Technology instead of white light. https://rapidscan3d.com/scanners/artec-3d/space-spider

Looking forward to demoing the Leo to customers
Rapid Scan 3D

I think it’s good to realize that Tango is really in sort of a public beta state. Or at least a first-gen phase. And what I see now is pretty impressive for that, especially on the ASUS phone which is actually a pretty well-sized phone in comparison to the Lenovo that’s really a phablet. And the ASUS also is a Daydream VR compatible device. I actually want to have it 😛

thanks. looking forward your comments when you got these ar phones to test the room-scan and object scan , and that’s kind if you can tell us what’s the best app is best equip with these ar phone for these two scenario . thanks very much

Thanks!

As far as I know (which is not a fact) it’s indeed true that it will only do RTF (quality) on the device itself, but allows you to (wirelessly) copy the files to a PC running the full Artec Studio 12 software with all the (quality) benefits that that offers.

We’ll see if the scan quality is indeed twice as much. The “resolution” might be twice as much but the point accuracy is the same as the Eva. Not sure how that works out in practice. The texture quality should be better too.

For me, it’s really the workflow differences that stand out: bigger field of view, wireless, screen on the device — and 80 fps capturing. That last spec is really mind blowing!

Scan quality is said to be twice as much as Eva’s, although in the article you say only RTF is available, while the Sharp fusion algorithm delivers the best results from a point cloud, therefore I am confused, is Leo better than Eva only in the RTF scenario or will Artec let you export the point cloud from Leo to a post processing station in order to maximize quality with other fusion algorithms?

Cheers

I’m trying to get either an ASUS or Lenovo phone for testing, since I can’t buy either of them here in The Netherlands. But I’m getting zero response from these companies. I’ll keep trying!

I know Sketchfab CEO Alban Denoyel owns a Lenovo and regularly uploads scans of interiors — made with the Tango Constructor app — like this one of their NY HQ: https://skfb.ly/66JHr
