I just came across a rather interesting campaign on IGG,
IVPort It looks like the guy selling it is demoing it as a multiplexer for video, just switching between camera modules on a 1 second delay, but with it able to self stack up to 16 camera modules on a single Raspberry Pi, I'm thinking of setting the delay to the time of a single high-speed frame and using it as a 3D scanner.
That would be about $600 for a single RPI, 4 boards, and 16 cameras. compared to the traditional multi-Pi scanner setup which would be around $1000 for 16 RPIs and 16 cameras (and then some kind of solution to network them all)
Think there's any merit to this idea?
(I don't see much hope for the IVPort actually meeting its IGG goal in time though, so I guess this would be mostly rhetorical)
