This is the online demo of Mask3D our state-of-the-art 3D semantic instance segmentation method. You can upload your own 3D scan or reconstruction (.ply) and segment the scene into the semantic classes of ScanNet, including ScanNet 200.

PyViz3D is a simple web-based visualizer for 3D point clouds and other primitives such as meshes, polylines, bounding boxes and labels. It is useful for quick protyping and remote development.

FabScan is a do-it-yourself, open-source 3D laser scanner that I developed a long time ago as my Bachelor thesis at the RWTH Aachen FabLab. It consists of a webcam, line-laser, microcontroller, stepper-engines, and a turn-table. The project was featured on Thingiverse and is still maintained by Mario Lukas at fabscan.org.
