I am looking for the ability to create three dimensional images from
still ariel photographs or video tape.  What type of Mac configuration
would be required?  What software/hardware would be required?  How much
would this cost?

The reason why this is needed is that a relative of mine is trying
assist third world countries in their land management and it would 
be helpful to be able to take two pictures and combine them into a
3-D picture on the computer screen and show how the landscape would 
change if a road was put in or if trees were cut down etc.  Ideally 
my relative needs a hardware/software configuration that would allow
him to create a 3-D view from a human perspective  i.e.  what the
landscape would look like at human eye level.

Any suggestions or hints of where I can get more information would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
