​3D scans

Paint 3D will also be able to edit 3D scans of real-world objects, such as this sandcastle.

The 3D scan of the sandcastle is being captured using the camera on a HP Elite x3 phone, running the Windows Capture 3D Experience app. Microsoft has said the capture software will run on a range of devices.

Paint 3D will also offer access to an online store of user-created 3D models, which can be downloaded, edited and 3D printed.

The store will host 3D models created in Paint but also in Minecraft and SketchUp, with users able to upload their creations directly from Paint 3D.

​The future of shopping in Windows 10

Here the HoloLens user selects stools from a prototype version of the furniture site Houzz and places actual-sized 3D models around him to see what the stools look life in real life.

Those who’ve tested the HoloLens say its field of view is more limited than these mock-up images suggest, with 3D objects appearing in a rectangle in the middle of the wearer’s vision.
