We present the 3D Wand, a low-cost 3D shape acquisition device consisting of a laser line projector and LEDs. A user projects a plane of light to the measured 3D scene by the handheld 3D Wand. The projected light and the LED lights are captured with a DV camera. By estimating the 3D pose of the 3D Wand from the visual information of the LED lights, the distance to the surface lit by the laser i...
