XGRIDS PortalCam 3D Portrait Mode: BBC studio scan
See a 3D scan of our survey lead Richard at BBC Radio 2 studio captured with XGRIDS PortalCam's Portrait Mode, which brings people into reality capture models.
Our Head of Geospatial, Richard Dunlop, behind the BBC Radio 2 mic — recreated in 3D with XGRIDS PortalCam.
During a scan of BBC Maida Vale Studios, Richard couldn’t resist trying the presenter’s chair — and we captured the moment using Portrait Mode.
If the video does not automatically play in HD, click the settings cog and select the highest video quality.
It took just over a minute to conduct the Portrait Mode scan.
Portrait Mode enables lifelike captures of people — bringing human detail into reality capture models and digital environments.
A great showcase of how handheld reality capture can digitise real spaces — and the people inside them.
