I saw that when it first came out and I actually got it to work. It's not good for games because it's not low poly and the resulting model needs a lot of work to make it in to any kind of usable model. But it was fun being able to scan objects and have them become 3d models.

The pro version generates usable high-poly models in seconds, and the meshes spat out by the free version are easily touched up by meshedit. I'll post a model to prove my point as soon as I find my laserlevel. Watch the video, it tells you all the tricks.
