This is really cool. I'm looking to build a body scanner so I can import a 3d model of my body. I can then use this model in Marvelous Designer to make shirts and pants and other clothes that will literally fit perfectly to my body.

I'm thinking of a platform on which you stand, with a rotating arm under it which holds the arduino which then scans up and down, the arduino relays the distance and both angles to a processor which turns the data into a point cloud and then into a 3d model.

Ask HN: If I have a budget of maybe ~$1000, what would be the best body scanner I can get? Happy with either DIY or for-purchase.

Keen to try some ML projects with a body-sized scanner.
