In the Institute of Holography of Saint-Louis, in the Upper Rhine of France, in three seconds the shape of the human body can be accurately measured. To do this, from three different angles light rays are emitted to the body of the person. A numeric camera portrays the deformations detected in the body.
The recorded data is sent to a computer that thanks to its program can calculate the coordinates of more than 150,000 points. With these points the image of the human body is formed in three dimensions. This technique will have numerous industrial applications, such as making aerodynamic ski clothing.
