Real-View recently announced their Real View 360° 3D Desktop 3D Scanner (catchy) as the first real solution for cheap 3D scanning. The release of this scanner comes alongside some pretty sizeable advances with medical cameras aimed at providing patients with options for non-invasive surgery.

The images captured by the 3D scanner can be rendered and viewed from any position, and a topographical 360° version can be exported into any web based document, online catalog or online auction.

“Topographical 360° 3D capture is the next logical step in image capture and display for e-trailers,” states Real-View 3D founder J.J. Howard.  The 3D scans that Real-View hopes will become commonplace are expected (by them) to change the faces of online auctions and online catalogs.

Truthfully speaking, it would be pretty cool to see an accurate 3D model of the item that you’re looking to snag on eBay before you shell out some cash for it. It’d be pretty cool to see technology like this take off.
