Pretty damn neat

your silver-light plugin is out of date and no button to automatically update it D:

That's funny, don't have Silverlight installed here and I'm running Chrome

[e-freak]

Works fine for me. LOVE MICROSOFT. I'm like stunned!

That's some pretty crazy stuff. I remember seeing something similar years back that was meant for taking 3D models of crime scenes, so it could all be examined later. I'm guessing this is something more consumer-orientated.

Want.

Yes works fine for me in Chrome.

Years ago I was involved with a university setting "think tank" group dreaming up ideas for new tech businesses in the wake of the dot com crash. We talked about having some kind of camera system that would be used for 3D model/scene creation. I was convinced it could work...and I found out so were a lot of other people back then...except no one was taking it seriously.

Until we see stuff like this. This kind of thing has huge potential for game design and beyond. If this can be cracked open into a full game asset creation system I would hope it could help bring down time/cost/effort of development. Then we'll have people saying "Back in my day, we made models from scratch in 3DS-Max and that's the way we liked it. And I used to walk 8 miles each way through snow and ice with bare feet to work, too...grrrr"

I cant check out the video right now, but AutoDesk Photo scene editor is somewhat similar, not real time, rather a cloud based solution:

I got a really high detail rock model out of it, by uploading an image sequence extracted from a video.

*Edit" got the video to work and: wow that was quite amazing.

yea, pretty sick.

got kind of weird and creepy when they started placing objects into the scene, and the 3d-reconstructed scene added the objects in. about 1/4 of the way in.

the table grew a teapot top, then grew a book out of it's top surface. heh.. i'm not creeped out at all.....
