MIT Media Lab researchers use $150 Microsoft Kinect to 3D scan 5-ft-long T. rex skull

The Camera Culture group from MIT’s Media Lab has been able to successfully capture a high-res 3D scan of a five-foot-long tyrannosaurus rex skull using a Microsoft Kinect. The MIT group came on board for the project after a team of forensic dentists was unable to capture a digital scan of the large-scale dinosaur skull with its own scanning technology.
