Anyone use this software yet? I just had a demo and it looks pretty intriguing for a lot of the work we do.
Any opinions on it?

Looks interesting.
I browsed that site with my smart phone but I did not see price?
Any idea what the 3d version cost?
In the [msg=251019]"IS IT JUST ME??"[/msg] thread, KirkHorton mentioned that if you attend a seminar, the 'discounted' price was $5k.
I think some NMSU seniors did something similar for their senior project.
I'll try to find the link.
Yeah it's around 5k. I can make that up in two jobs if it does what they say. The demo looked like it worked pretty darn good.

Here is Kurt Wurm's post.
something fun. Two students just completed their senior project with me, these two guys took photographs around skeen hall to produce a 3d point cloud (about 12 photos), the camera used was an IPhone. A fascinating project! The academic software the students used produced a point cloud of nearly a million points, eventually brought down to about 200K points. I've taken a sample of their photos and used the Microsoft photosync application and re-produced an equivalent product (I'm using different procedure/software than they did -- theirs was much more sophisticated). Nevertheless, its time to share something fun on this group. (link below will load an interactive demo - "play" button is the easy approach, feel free to experiment with 2d/3d views in addition to the point cloud)
here is the link.
We have played with the technology quite a bit. We hope to branch this direction for some of our future work. I have not used this particular package.
I did get a good laugh out of the sub-centimeter spec. I would love the see the error budget worksheet that generated that load...
Ditto.

Same here... sub-centimeter, yessir!
Andy,
That's really cool. Did the students use Microsoft Photosynth to create the 3D point cloud, or was that done using some other sort of software?
