Meta's Quest Headsets Can Scan Your Home Into VR. The Results Are Stunning

I stood in Gordon Ramsay's absolutely lovely kitchen and stared at the Smeg toaster on his polished counters. I admired the windows to the garden, the jukebox in the corner and the adjoining open living room. I tried to walk in the living room and hit a VR barrier. That's where the scan ended. Gordon's home was a Quest-made 3D scan, a still-life of his lovely LA abode. I almost felt like I could sit down in a chair and wait for him to walk into the room, brandish a soufflé... and yell at me. M

The model simultaneously generates RGB video and depth information to enable direct 3D reconstruction without the need for traditional modeling techniques.

This 3D Printer Has Four Different Extruders. It's the Best Thing Snapmaker's Ever Made

Snapmaker's 3D printers don't always follow trends. The original Snapmaker was a small three-in-one machine that could be a 3D printer, laser cutter or CNC, depending on the type of tool head you use. For years, the company has iterated on that idea, culminating in the much larger Artisan model. After that, Snapmaker tried a dual-nozzle 3D printer called the J1. In my review of the J1, I liked that the nozzles could print two models at the same time, reducing the time it takes to print batches,
