I've been looking for something to be able to 3D scan cheaply, with what I have (a macbook pro core2duo)
It looks like the cheapest and easiest is Vi3Dim and ProForma by Qi Pan of Cambridge University.
I've installed win7 with boot camp and virtual box, also win xp in virtual box. Vi3Dim Demo (full version is $20) won't turn the macbook's cam on for more than a second.
Pro Forma doesn't seem to be available yet. I thought it would be by now, and it looks like much better software from the video demos.
anyone know of anything better, or what I might be doing wrong with win and vi3dim
