Copy + Paste Reality — 3D Scan an Object into AR hosted by SJSU King Library KLEVR Lab

Bring an object. Scan it. Make a digital clone. Then drop it back into the real world using augmented reality.

Turn a real-world object into a digital 3D model, place it anywhere with augmented reality, and discover how 3D scanning can bring physical objects into the digital world.

Bring a favorite object, collectible, toy, sculpture, or other small item and learn how to create a 3D digital clone of it using 3D scanning technology. In this hands-on KLEVR Lab workshop, you'll capture your object, turn it into a 3D model, and then bring that model back into the real world using augmented reality.

Once your digital clone is created, the fun really starts. Place your object virtually on your desk, make it larger than life, take it somewhere it has never been, or pull out your phone later and see your object again in AR. Along the way, you'll get an approachable introduction to 3D scanning, 3D models, augmented reality, and spatial computing—no previous 3D or technical experience required.

What is the KLEVR Lab?

Located in the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library at San José State University, the KLEVR Lab gives students opportunities to explore emerging technologies and experiment with new forms of digital creativity and learning. We are available as a resource to learn how to get support on how to create VR/AR/MoCap projects, short term rentals of VR and computing equipment, and as a place to hang out.
