Although practical application is sometime away, I thought people
might be interested in a  BBC article this morning about how
scientists at Carnegie-Mellon developed new 3-D scanning technology.
They are testing it on worn gravestones at a local cemetery, and then
using the data to create a "virtual cemetery".
