Kinect Fusion 3D Models

Pretty cool piece of tech coming for the Kinect. Possible uses? Love it? Hate it? I'm not tech-saavy enough to understand how this is working, but it looks impressive.

Damn. That's some pretty impressive stuff. Might be good for quick composites in production and stuff. Being able to capture surface normals with a camera might be interesting as well.

Oh fuck me, that's awesome.

oh man.. Augmented Reality! Like the 3DS has but pushed to the max.

Screw augmented reality; I want to make low-cost 3D scanning quick and easy.

Combine this with the Oculus rift and you could just walk around scanning stuff in all day. Maybe that's a bit far-fetched, but you have to wonder....
