123D Catch! - Free App from Autodesk
Maybe you're more familiar with it's old name when it wasn't released yet : Project Photofly. Anyways... now it's out... and it's FREE!
123D Catch is an image-based modeler... basically snap your subject matter from different angles, and it is re-created in 3D. Works well with people, environments, objects, and your pets.
Below is the official promo video, followed by some older Photofly videos to show how it works.
Just imagine the possibilities for this... visual archiving of objects from any angle, reconstruction of scenes for matchmoving, accurate reconstruction of historical venues... woah.

A lifesaver for those who hate constantly scanning their doodles? :P

SIGGRAPH 2011
Siggraph 2011 just wrapped up recently in Vancouver, and as usual, a whole host of new stuff has been announced. A few of my favourite highlights :
A new version of Maya which integrates Bullet dynamics, making it native to Maya.
An updated version of Mudbox with a new Gigatexel engine [1,200 2K maps in real-time on a gaming laptop? insane.]
ZBrush 4 Release 2 is coming in September with a whole bunch of new features [not all of them have been announced, but from the video we can see new boolean tools, new brush options, 32-bit HDRI lighting, fragmenting implementation, etc.]
