A '''holoband avatar scanner''' is a three-dimensional scanning instrument using both light and some form of either [[w:magnetic resonance|resonance]] or [[w:backscatter x-ray|backscatter x-ray]] to scan the surface of a person's body, allowing for the generation of an [[avatar]] based on the physical appearance for each unique [[holoband]] user. | A '''holoband avatar scanner''' is a three-dimensional scanning instrument using both light and some form of either [[w:magnetic resonance|resonance]] or [[w:backscatter x-ray|backscatter x-ray]] to scan the surface of a person's body, allowing for the generation of an [[avatar]] based on the physical appearance for each unique [[holoband]] user. | ||

Similar technology is in use today for [[w:3D scanning|3D scanning]]. While light and laser scanners are able to scan the exterior of a surface, x-rays and magnetic resonance technologies are able to pass through materials, not only scanning surface area underneath clothing (i.e. the skin) but also beyond the epidermal layer. | Similar technology is in use today for [[w:3D scanning|3D scanning]] in use for productions.

The deployment of "backscatter x-ray" technologies at airport terminals post-9/11 raised various concerns from privacy groups, not only given the level of body detail that such devices capture but also how that data is both stored and accessed.<ref>{{cite_web|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1687850714000168|title=ScienceDirect.com: Radiation exposure and privacy concerns surrounding full-body scanners in airports|date=April 2014|accessdate=20 September 2020|last=Accardo|first=Julie; et al.|format=|language=}}</ref> | The deployment of "backscatter x-ray" technologies at airport terminals post-9/11 raised various concerns from privacy groups, not only given the level of body detail that such devices capture but also how that data is both stored and accessed.<ref>{{cite_web|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1687850714000168|title=ScienceDirect.com: Radiation exposure and privacy concerns surrounding full-body scanners in airports|date=April 2014|accessdate=20 September 2020|last=Accardo|first=Julie; et al.|format=|language=}}</ref> | ||
