B.I.O. Library

B.I.O. Library serves as a dynamic repository of ingredients, showcasing 3D scans and written details of every component incorporated into Locavore NXT's menu. Continuously expanding and adapting, it offers comprehensive information on each ingredient, including its local name, origin, classification, taste, texture, traditional uses, and ideal pairings.

Asset Development

A custom scanning rig and workflow was developed to automate the scanning process as much as possible.

An automatic turntable incrementally turns the object 360˚ while triggering the camera shutter at each step.

Stitching and Reconstruction

A set of overlapping photos of the object are taken at various angles and distances. The collected images are stitched together using photogrammetry software to create a digital 3D model of the scanned object.
