Scan of Anna Kaziunas France
All the ReconstructMe scans in this chapter were done on us-
ing Boot Camp on a Mid 2010, 15-inch MacBook Pro running
OS X 10.8.1 (Mountain Lion) with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 pro-
cessor and 8GB of memory. The graphics card used was a
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB. With this configuration, we
were able to run realtime reconstruction mode, but unable to
run the high resolution setting for ReconstructMe. The lack of
definition in the facial features in the scan reflects these con-
straints. However, ReconstructMe is excellent at capturing
folds in fabric, so Anna wore a hat and scarf during the scan to
make up for the lack of facial definition. Other smooth fabric
items like shirt collars, ties and smooth hair are also captured
well.

If you are scanning other people or things, a kinect handle (

or a Kinect tripod mount (
