MDA demonstrates the ISM 3D modeling scanning camera (made by the people who developed the robotic arm for the Shuttle). To demonstrate, the presenter says,
"If I shoot my partner, BOOM (he drops to the floor) and scan the scene, in a matter of seconds, we can generate a 3D model of the scene."
This is too cool. The ISM camera provides a perfect application for CSI-style forensic analysis. Once the 3D model is generated (under one minute), the examiner can measure distances, angles, and other spatial information in the scene. MDA then showed an applications in underground mining, where they examined a core sample without going underground.
