With our structured-light 3D scanners, namely the Artec Leo and AutoScan Inspec, we have scanned over 100 instruments commonly used in clinical routines. This extensive collection serves various purposes, including general instrument detection and tracking in operating room settings, as well as medical simulation or training scenarios in virtual and mixed reality. These surface models can be enhanced to achieve realism using shaders available in popular game engines like Unity3D or through 3D modeling software such as Blender.
