One-camera systems like this have been around for a while, though. Don't recall the name of one a friend uses that uses markers, typically printed out sheets, but it was pretty cheap. A slight bit more involved, but otherwise able to match this in performance -

Namely, produce a pretty inefficient 3D-models of very simple objects – No cavities or significant self-occlusion allowed. This model you'd then have to clean up by hand (or – for now – expensive intelligent polyreducers) to use for anything minimally complex. With objects this simple, I'd prefer just building them from scratch and projecting photos for the textures.

Sorry, but I'm not too excited for the prospects of this. it'll be fun and useful in some simple cases. And as always, potentially artistically interesting in the edge cases where the technique breaks down and produce glitchy output. The video for example showed some interesting intermediary states where the hand sort of got welded into the silhouette.

This really could revolutionize indie game development. Can't afford to pay a freelancer $3k for custom art? Just scan some of your old junk! Instant kitschy game art.

I'm curious to see how what kind of intellectual property issues arise from this sort of thing… if I scan some micro machines and use them in a game, will I get sued by Hasbro?

Frickin' Hasbro.
