Building 3D Models On the Fly With a Webcam 93
blee37 writes "Here is an excellent video demonstration of a new program developed by Qi Pan, a graduate student, and other researchers at the University of Cambridge. The 'ProFORMA' software constructs a 3D model of an object in real time from (commodity) webcam video. The user can watch the program deduce more pieces of the 3D model as the object is moved and rotated. The resulting graphics are of high quality."

That site only has pdf files and videos. Not really useful at all. We want to TRY this software, not watch some fancy demo video.

In theory, we can make good computer games, too.
But how many open-source games can you name that have great graphics? And how many closed-source games with great graphics are there?
I don't think Hollywood is dying just yet.
