RAYFace Server Registration
Any 3D facial scan data captured by RAYFace can be shared with the other PCs connected to the
same network. The PC where the RAYFace device is connected and 3D face scanning occurs is
hereafter defined as the RAYFace server. Any PC on the same network where the device is not
connected and 3D face scanning does not take place is defined as RAYFace client.
Any shared data are copied and synced between the server and client. Hence any data that are
synced on the RAYFace client can be reconstructed on the client or merged with other data to
create a project file. Any modified data are also synced between the registered client and server
PCs. Synced data are reclassified as an archival data after a predetermined amount of time, and
sync will be deactivated on that data on the client PC and will be moved to server PC’s archive
folder. Archived data can be accessed either from the client or server PC and re-synced if the user
wants to access the data.
In order to ensure the robust data sync, prevent simultaneous data modification/deletion, and to
ensure trouble-free archiving, the data modification can only take place when RAYFace server
where the data was created is connected to the network. If the RAYFace server is not connected
to the network, the data are locked in a read-only mode and cannot be modified.
If there are muliple RAYFace servers in the network, RAYFace servers connected to each devices
can be registered individually. For example, if there are RAYFace server A and B, on each client
PCs the server A and B has to be registered individually, and since server A considers server B to
be a client and vice versa, server A needs to register server B as a server, and server B needs to
register server A as a server.
