My understanding is the Leap Motion is a wide-angle stereo IR camera. It's built to detect fingers/hands/pointers, and doesn't produce a depth map so can't do 3D scanning.
A sensor with a similar form factor is the CamBoard pico, which does produce depth maps. I don't think it's shipping yet.

Is it possible to use a Leap Motion? I don't think it has a video camera in it, but could it still be used to do 3D scanning?
