This sounds really promising for making 3d scans. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to get a 3d scan of something and then print it out in a MakerBot?
I took a look at the kinecthacks.com link -- I couldn't find out there how it works, or why they call it "RGB-Demo". Is it using Red-Green-Blue light to somehow? Or, does "RGB" in this case stand for something different?
Mitch.
