CONFERENCE

Hometrica Consulting organizes the
International Conference on 3D Body Scanning Technologies.

This conference aims to fill an existing gap and fulfill the demand for an international conference focused on the specific fields of 3D human body scanning and 3D human body measurement.
In the last two decades, 3D scanning technologies developed in other industrial sectors were successfully applied to the measurement and scanning of the human body. Methods and techniques are continuously ameliorated, more efficient and performing scanning systems are produced every year and new software tools are developed unceasingly.
The international conference on 3D body scanning technologies serves as a platform for the information on the latest developments and interesting applications in various sectors, as well as, for building relationships and exchanging ideas between manufacturers, users, developers and researchers from around the world.

The first conference will be held October 19-20, 2010, at the Lugano convention center in Switzerland.
