4D Dynamics releases a $2000 pico-projector based 3D scanner

4D Dynamics has released a new pico-projector based consumer 3D scanner called PicoScan. The scanner is a Canon 1000D DSLR bundled with a pico-projector and 3D scanning software (based on the Mephisto scan engine). The idea is that you can take photos around an object and the software turns it into a 3D model. The projector is used for radiometric calibration. We're not sure, but the projector seems to be either an AAXA P2 or an Adapt 305.
