If you want to make a truly 3D version of a person, CyberExtruder has the software to automatically (really!) convert a single, front-ish facing picture (like a passport photo) into a 3D model in about a second or less. This patented technology has been in service in Second Life as a self serve avatar maker since around June 2007. It's now being rolled out to numerous other 3D virtual worlds. Pretty cool idea.

The work is not old since if you just check the "publications" section, you will see that the most recent paper was published in IJCV, 2007. This also has nothing to do with Photosynth because the latter uses multiple images and it works much differently. You statement, "Make3D is Photosynth for the common man" is incorrect because the technologies are not similar at all. If you really want to know the differences, then take some time from posting on Twitter and read the relevant scientific literature; in the least, you will better understand the technology you write about.
