From those pics, 123D will identify the features & geometry of what you're taking pics of and composite them into a 3D model. I think its based on cloud computing (rather than relying on your own computer) so hardware requirements are minimal. Its probably not quite as good as a laser scanner, but its hard to beat the price.
