Looks like a Kinect controller with a gripper handle and some software to build the map in real time. I would have killed for this as an indie filmmaker and would certainly consider minor bodily injury just to play with it now :-)

There are Lidar scanners that can do entire cities driving down the road at 35mph.

Also useful for filmmakers. ;)

Great for previs, and the occasional 3D matte when the background is out of focus enough.
