As the turntable spins, it draws the Kinect up from the floor. The person being scanned stands on the turntable while a second person pulls the blue cord to spin them around. The turntable was built from a $10 bearing from the hardware store, and some bits of wood and hardware lying around the Mechanical Engineering building. Recently in the lab, we’ve set up a turntable and an Xbox 360 Kinect on a linear rail in order to do full, 360° scans of people!
