3D Objects Creation with the Merge Scanner
The Merge Scanner has been in place for a little while, but the capabilities have continued to expand. Check out the latest updates to bring the Merge Scanner to your classroom.
The Power of 3D Scanning
The Merge Scanner is a tool for creating 3D objects that can be viewed in AR. Its easy-to-use design lets students turn real objects into virtual models that they can explore. This not only makes learning more engaging but also encourages creativity. Students can scan biological specimens, such as plant leaves or animal bones, to create detailed 3D models. These models can be used for virtual dissections or to study anatomy in greater detail, enabling students to explore and manipulate structures that are often difficult to visualize in traditional textbooks.
Enhancing Learning with Collections
A great feature of the Merge Scanner is that it allows students to group different scanned objects together. This way, they can view several items at the same time. For instance, in art and design classes, 3D scanning enhances creativity. Students can scan their own sculptures or designs, creating digital portfolios. These portfolios can be shared with others, and users can add labels to help explain the 3D objects better.
Innovation for All
The latest version of the Merge Scanner can now work with older devices, making it easier for schools with fewer resources to use AR technology. This means more students can enjoy the benefits of this innovative tool. In the past, the scan required a Pro version of Apple iPad or iPhones, but now the app supports the following devices:
iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPhone SE (2nd generation and later), iPhone 11 series, iPhone 12 series, iPhone 13 series, iPhone 14 series, and newer.
iPad (6th generation and later)
iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2nd generation and later)
iPad Pro 10.5-inch
iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation and later)
The Merge Scanner is more than just a fun tool; it opens up new ways to connect learning to the real world. Allowing students to create and explore 3D objects in AR enhances their educational experience and supports the relevance of the materials. Not only do the 3D scans appear in the Merge Scanner app, but they also work in Object Viewer to easily add labels and share the QR code, link, or text/numerical code.
