  • It’s amusing but the look of it really is more of a crafts project than a photo project. Having all those lines across the image kinda messes up the smoothness of the original image.

    When I read the earlier article about Scandy however, that is exactly what I imagined would be a great way to display such images. So I went to the link for the Scandy website and found no reference to the spheres described in your article. A litle further Google research led me however to this website: https://scandysphere.co/ and there I was a little shocked to see the price for a tiny sphere… US$500.00 !!! And even at the price, the resolution and IQ appear to be what one would expect from a 30-year old printer ! (See: https://scandysphere.co/create/overview)

    When they come up with a true crisp 3D image within a Lucite sphere, then I’ll be impressed !
