Get a 3D selfie of yourself

Tuesday 29 September 2026 12pm - 4pm

Organiser: Digital Skills & Creativity Lab
Location: LFA/103 Creativity Lab (Harry Fairhurst Building, Campus West)
Open to: Everyone

Ever wanted to grab a digital snapshot of yourself in a 3D model and see a 3D scanner?

This is the session for you, and bring your friends too! Come and take a 3D selfie in the Creativity Lab. In this fun session, we'll introduce you to our handheld 3D scanners to take a full detailed scan of your head and shoulders. We will create a 3D model file you can then take away and keep for yourself. We'll also chat about what you can then do with the model, whether that's animating it, or even 3D print it. No booking required, just pop in to the Creativity Lab (Harry Fairhurst Library building) between 12pm and 4pm.

Please note that our standard 3D scanners use a bright flashing light and may affect those with photo-sensitivity. For any questions around this, please email us via lib-creativitylab@york.ac.uk and we can discuss other options.

At York you have access to a wealth of software, from general 'Office' applications like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 through to more specific programs to help you be organised or be creative.

We will share some of our tips for making the best use of technology, and there'll be time to ask questions and share any of your own IT tips.

This session is being delivered hybridly. You can attend either virtually (via Zoom) or face-to-face (in LFA/144, Fairhurst Building, University Library). Follow the booking link for more details.
