The Kolibri Cordless 3D Sensor

The Kolibri Cordless sensor, developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics: a light and small device that can take 3D images of almost anything and almost anywhere. LED lights shine a projector light on an object, and two cameras record the image from two different angles. Then a computer compiles the data into a 3D image.
