Honestly, the Mac version of the original Sense wasn’t as good as the Windows version.Īnd as a plus, the new Sense for RealSense software from 3D Systems offers a great experience for the Sense 2 or any other RealSense-based scanners - and it’s free and unlimited. This is true for many 3D scanners by the way, and I personally don’t mind rebooting to Windows very much to make scans.

It’s also worth knowing that with the Sense 2, there’s no longer Mac support, so Apple users like me have to use Windows 8 or 10 through Boot Camp. Realistically though, I can hardly think of objects bigger than 2 meters that one would like to capture with a handheld scanner like this. Both specs state a depth resolution of 1mm at a distance of 0.5 meters.īut the Sense 2 is not better in every way. While the minimum scan distance is the same at 0.2 meters, the maximum distance of Intel’s SR300 hardware limits the Sense 2 to 1.6 meters (Intel says it’s 0.75 meters for 3D scanning, by the way) while its predecessor could scan at 3 meters - almost twice af far! Because of this, the maximum scan size also dropped from 3 x 3 x 3 to 2 x 2 x 2 meters.

The color camera resolution has made an even bigger jump, from 320 x 240 to Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels. On paper this means the depth camera resolution has gone up from 320 x 240 to 640 x 480 pixels.

It still hasn’t got a button to start and stop the scanning process Technically, the Sense 1 & 2 both use infrared depth-sensing technology. The difference is that the original version contained a PrimeSense Carmine 1.09, while the new one features Intel’s latest SR300 depth sensor. I still think this is a huge design flaw - even the $199 XYZ 3D Scanner ( review) has a button! The housing has a perfect place for it… But it still hasn’t got a button to start and stop the scanning process. It still has a tripod thread on the bottom, which is nice. It’s actually the same plastic housing, except that the inside of the handle is now made of transparent plastic instead of the original’s milky white color. The Sense 2 has the exact same form factor as the original. This rebranded device has recently been discontinued.


Without any regrets! It’s a great journey so far and I’ve tested a lot of great hardware and software in a market that’s changing faster than many people realize. For me it was the year I decided to put my blogging and R&D focus entirely on 3D capturing technologies. With 2016 coming to an end, it’s time to look back at another year.
