Say I plan to use OpenCV for 3D reconstruction using a stereo approach...and I do not have any special stereo camera but only webcams.

1.)How do I build a cheap stereo setup using a set of web cams? 2.)Is it possible to snap two images using web cams and convert them to stereo using openCV API?

I will use the stereo algorithm from the link below Stereo vision with OpenCV

Using this approach I want to create a detailed mapping of an indoor environment. (I would not like to use any projects like Insight3D which cannot be used for commercial purposes without distributing the source code)
