In 2016, I came up with a simple, fun idea to make an interactive display to showcase staff profiles using gamification principles and relatively inexpensive technology/equipment. The original version involved 3D scanning staff with a Kinect scanner, which was limited by resolution and accuracy, alongside 3D printers at the time not being able to obtain the required levels of detail.

Each piece represents a member of staff or a student/course with an NFC chip embedded on the base, which, when placed on an NFC / RFID reader board, would load a webpage with information related to that piece.

I have decided to revitalise this idea now that 3D scanning options have improved and become more accessible, alongside 3D printers getting faster and higher quality, making this project feasible at the quality I envisage.
