(Creaform: Los Angeles, Calif.) -- Creaform, developer and manufacturer of the well-known Handyscan 3-D lineup of hand-held and self-positioning laser scanners, once again pushes the limits of portable 3-D scanning and introduces its newest and most innovative product: the VIUscan, a self-positioning hand-held and high-resolution portable 3-D color scanner.

The VIUscan color laser scanner can achieve hyper-realistic results thanks to features such as simultaneous texture and geometry acquisition, real-time rendering, true color acquisition through a built-in lighting system, adjustable uniform texture resolution, and automatic 100-percent-accurate texture mapping.

Like its fellow scanners from the Handyscan 3-D line-up, the VIUscan is a very accurate, easy-to-learn and -use, and versatile device. Most likely, the VIUscan will prove extremely efficient and powerful in the heritage preservation and museology, multimedia, gaming and entertainment industries, not to mention e-marketing and Web development applications.

Companies interested in having early access to this new color scanning solution can write to info@creaform3d.com for more information and visit see the promotional video at http://www.creaform3d.com/en/handyscan3d/products/viuscan-video.aspx.
