WP Cumulus Flash tag cloud by Roy Tanck and Luke Morton requires Flash Player 9 or better.
DAVID is indeed a nice software, even if a lot of tweaking is involved : finding the right webcam-objet-laser angle, build a good calibration corner, and so on.

By the way, I wrote a review of DAVID on tdt3d.com (in French only ) :

There are several pictures of models I scanned using a cheap 20€ webcam.
