Just as Cyberware revolutionized computer graphics by allowing designers, animators, and researchers to work with true human faces, now Cyberware continues the revolution with true human forms. In as little as 12 seconds, the Cyberware WB4 whole-body scanner allows you to capture the shape and color of the entire human body. With the WB4, animators, anthropologists, and designers can obtain alternatives to over-simplified or stylized forms. The scanner's rapid acquisition speed makes it easy to scan many subjects or different poses appropriate to the application at hand.

To capture the intricacies of the human body in one pass, the Cyberware whole-body scanner uses four scanning instruments mounted on two vertical towers. Each tower has a linear ball-bearing rail and servo motor assembly that moves the scanning instrument vertically. With a person standing on the scanner's platform, the scanning instruments start at the person's head and move down to scan the entire body. A primary goal of the WB4 is to acquire as complete a model as possible in one pass. The use of multiple instruments improves accuracy on the sides of the body and in difficult-to-reach areas, such as under a person's arms. While the simple anthropometric pose gives the best results, Cyberware designed the WB4 to handle many different poses for a wide range of applications. The WB4 scans a cylindrical volume 2 meters (79 inches) high with a diameter of 1.2 meters (47 inches). These dimensions accommodate the vast majority of human subjects. For even larger subjects, available merging software enables you to combine two or more scans quickly into a complete 3D color model. A platform structure supports the subject and provides alignment for the towers. The system is built to withstand shipping and repeated use without alignment or adjustment.
