Fucking Brilliant!
My geek-o-meter just pegged and bent the needle.
Do you want to derive a 3D model of an object?
Do you want to do this cheaply?
If yes -- check this out -- take one webcam, an open source software plugin for a cheap gaming engine, a pan and some milk and a teaspoon.
Here is the video from YouTube:
milkscanner-3d
Here is the website:
Hack A Day
Here is the software used:
Movie Sand Box
The Game Engine:
Unreal Technology
Couple of nits -- it can't do undercuts, surface tension, Z Axis linearity but still, what I said -- Fucking Brilliant!
