Panorama-stitching applications have been around for a while now...it started with GigaPan and their robotic tripod panorama heads. Now we have Microsoft Photosynth (and others) which made all this much easier and usable on smart phones.
Autodesk 123D Catch takes this one step further and combines images of a stationary object into 3D models. That's nothing really new either and uses a process referred to as Structure from motion (see for example VisualSFM or Bundler).
Autodesk 123D Catch claims to make this more accessible to consumers with an online version and iPhone/iPad apps (in addition to a downloadable version for Windows). I have not tried any of this myself so have a look at this review or this one to get more information.
