«A new technology developed by Qi Pan and other researchers at the University of Cambridge allows one to create 3D models on the fly by manipulating an object in front of a webcam. The reconstruction of the 3D model from the video can be viewed in real-time by the user as he moves and rotates the object. The program is called ProFORMA. Pan says the program will be publicly released soon.»
