Ooooo, this looks like potential fun. I wonder how it measures the length of the laser... does the laser pointer have to be USB-capable? Or do you have to be pretty precise where you place the laser in relation to the webcam and the software assumes the length of the laser based on that? Well I guess I'll have to go play with it and find out. :)
this is really very cool. I've been playing with it ever since the post went up, and under the right conditions, it's extremely accurate and impressive. All done with pixel processing by the way, no need for laser depth readings per se.
