Book our team to deliver a practical 3D scanning workshop at your festival or event in North Yorkshire!
The one hour workshop is designed to provide a fun introduction to 3D scanning objects and characters using free 3D scanning and animation tools and accessible devices. Suitable for between six and ten participants, no prior experience is required and all equipment is provided.
Extending XR is funded by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority and this means that the workshop is open only to adult participants who are resident in York and North Yorkshire.

Key takeaways for participants
Participants will gain skills in capturing real-world objects and people using a 3D scanning app. They will then progress to adding basic animation to their scan to bring it to life.
The session will familiarise participants with the possibilities of 3D scanning without the dependency on state-of-the-art equipment, and develop their skillset for creating digital media projects.
Equipment
XR Stories will provide handheld devices such as iPads and smartphones for up to ten participants in the session. If you have devices you would prefer to use, our delivery team can talk to you about what is possible.
