News Scan 3D Objects with this Raspberry Pi Photogrammetry Project

I was going to praise this article for being one of the better Pi projects featured on here, but then I ran across a critical oversight: the article failed to mention that the actual photogrammetry was performed using the proprietary Agisoft Metashape software, on a PC.

It's still not a bad project, but it's so often the case that Pi articles on here oversell the projects they describe. It's just bad journalism.

though I agree that the article should at least mention the alternatives…
