Andy (CC) reported that ft_read_headshape does not support the obj and ply files generated by the SKANET system. He sent two example files by email.

I guess it is http://skanect.occipital.com

Both the OBJ and the PLY file were slightly different from the ones we had seen before, but adding support for both of then was not too hard. I made some code updates and merged them in the release version at https://github.com/fieldtrip/fieldtrip/pull/739 Please download the latest version and http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/electrode should work for you. Note that the PLY loads much faster than the OBJ, since its internal structure is much easier.
