ProForma ( Probabilistic Feature-based On-line Rapid Model Acquisition) is a software that uses a regular cam in instantly transforms it into a 3D scanner. Usually scanning in 3D requires a purpose-made gear and time . ProForma lets you rotate a model in real time and scans the model building a fully 3D texture mapped model as fast as you can turn an object.
What does this mean for us? Well now we can scan a 3D model of ourselves and include ourselves as a Mii avatar instead of using the preset avatars the Wii provides us. We can even play as ourselves in mario kart. Augmented reality will be a step closer to being better. Viewers at home can also include themselves in a movie. Immersion will be taken to a higher level.
