Digitizing a Boat Hull: Mac26 Modeling Data

[QUOTE="Tom.G, post: 6850425, member: 581973"] I seem to recall that several years ago, Microsoft made a 3D camera from which you could determine distance to an object in the image. I also seem to recall that they soon quit making/selling them. :cry: A current approach I can think of is a Digital Tape Measure. They are handheld, battery operated, and have a read-out. Some operate by timing the round trip travel time of an ultrasonic pulse, and may have a Laser beam for aiming. Others seem(?) to use the travel time of a laser pulse. [URL]https://www.google.com/search?q=digital+tape+measure+with+laser[/URL] This one seems to use a Laser - and claims 3mm accuracy, the manual is at: [URL]https://www.bosch-professional.com/tz/en/products/glm-20-0601072EG0[/URL] Maybe you can find one with data logging or digital output; if not, have an assistant write the results or photograph them with a cell phone for later data entry. Have Fun! Tom p.s. You might even be able to make a profit from the data. [/QUOTE]
