3D Face Imaging in 40 Milliseconds

Roland Piquepaille writes "Computer scientists at Sheffield Hallam University, UK, have developed a new face recognition software which can produce an exact 3D image of a face within 40 milliseconds. A pattern of light is projected on your face, creating a 2D image, from which an accurate 3D representation is generated. This technology should speed airport check-ins, but it could also be used in banks or for checking ID cards as it allows full identification in less than one second."

Sure, I could spend the time to check it out, but why? Ronald has used CNet blogs to cover himself, etc. How do I know without investigation that the site is legit, and not paying him for links? I would rather not follow any links he is pushing than do work to check out his usually pointless links.
