This Morning the company showed us some improvements. HP just unveiled the software, called 3D Snapshot, as well as an optional $299 "stage" accessory that should make 360-degree capture easier in the first place.
From the demos we have seen so far the new the stage is worth every penny for the 3D users, even causal ones. Plug in the turntable via USB 3.0, set an object on top of it (note: it doesn't support objects heavier than 4.4 pounds or taller than 7.5 inches). Press a button and the stage will start to rotate, tilting up to 15 degrees to ensure there are no blank spots in the final image. The result: a 360-degree scan you can use inside HP's new modeling software.
