ofxActiveScan

This is an ofx library that allows for active 3D scanning using an uncalibrated projector-camera system, such as a Kinect.

Clearly, this has applications for about any project that would benefit the combination of 3D scanning with simultaneous reasoning about said 3D scans. Personally, I have been considering making a program that scans a face and return a 3D model of said persons beard i.e. beard scanning software.
