====== The DAVID 3D Scanner Wiki ======
This Wiki is written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world
who are engaged in building 3d laser scanners.\\
It mainly (but not solely) focuses on creating documentation for the free
software [[http://www.david-laserscanner.com|DAVID-Laserscanner]], which
allows everyone to build their own laser scanner using a simple web-cam, a line laser, 
and two panels. \\
