Google announced the release of a new music video by Radiohead: “House of Cards” released without any camera or light. It’s only raw 3D data scanned by lasers and sampled into pixels. A dedicated page on Google allows to play the video and to rotate and zoom interactively the head of the singer and two environments extracted from the video, included in Radiohead’s album “In Rainbows“.

Two technologies have been used to scan human heads and larger environments, using structure lights and lasers.
