So, guess what I found out today...the blue cam which connects to the "CEREC AC" (doctor handheld version) is usb 2.0...kind of. I looked in the device manager of the unit and tracked down the drivers from a company called "Matrix Vision." They make lots of imaging equipment but the "BlueFox" series (which is what the driver on the CEREC computer uses) are all USB 2.0 cameras.
hardware - industrial cameras, frame grabbers, USB cameras, smart cameras | industrial image processing - MATRIX VISION
Furthermore, I found the technical data sheet for the unit itself, which even says it's usb 2.0

So, I couldn't really dig deep inside the casing to find the camera connection to the CPU, but I assume they have it soldered directly to an internal USB port. But that is kind of neat. Possible to make your own handhled 3d scanner...?
