Publication number: 20100106061Abstract: A method for the three-dimensional, digitized sensing of the spatial shape of at least one foot of a person. The method includes: determining a desired position for the foot which is predefined by the footwear to be selected or fabricated; moving the foot to the desired position by means of a device which can preferably be adjusted using a motor; optical sensing and digitizing the three-dimensional spatial shape of the foot in the desired position. Furthermore, an arrangement by means of which at least one foot of a person is moved to a desired position and the spatial shape of the foot is digitized in a mainly contactless manner includes a bottom plate, a first support and a second support. The first and second supports are movable, preferably using a motor, parallel or perpendicular to the bottom plate to move the foot to the desired position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2007Publication date: April 29, 2010Applicant: corpus.e AGInventors: Christian Lott, Dirk Rutschmann
