I found this through Creative3D ... and it is for sure an amazing new technology by Creaform Inc.

The 3D digital technology is growing in all fields from manufacturing to medical industry, through spatial, multimedia, culture and recreative industries. The HandyScan 3D is the first self-positioned hand held scanner in the world produced by Creaform Inc. and was first announced in May 15, 2005

The Handyscan 3D is an innovation that creates a breakthrough in 3D digitizing technology using a hand-held 3D laser camera. The HandyScan3D provides self-positioning crosshair sweeping laser, surface optimization algorithm, and ergonomic design on a plug-&-play system. Watch this demo video.
