Say hello to Project Tango!
Why Hacker News recommends it
HN references it as a demo of Project Tango's computer vision, including its use of monocular structure from motion.
What it is

[this video] 19 second mark shows they are using monocular structure from motion. Some Japanese Uni has a working solution(HDL inside FPGA) doing same thing too [LINK] you can try it yourself, code is on github [LINK] [LINK]

I'd love to know if anyone here knows more about this. When it's going to be available for purchase, etc. This project has been on my radar for a long time. [this video]

Another way of doing this is something like Google's project tango, right? [0][1] So you can build and code this up (which sounds like a fun project) or if you're lazy or lack the time you can buy a $512 portable device that probably has an app or two to do 3D scanning out of the box. Both approaches have their pros/cons but both are pretty neat and it's exciting that it should only be cheaper and easier for hobbyists to play with in the years to come. [0] [this video] [1] [LINK]
