More Portable 3D Scanning

I really want to do a dolly zoom for the interior. That type of shot requires a lot of prep, and encompasses a lot of background because of the angle. You can't really fake it with images, so I was hoping I could at least partially get the environment through scanning.
ReconstructMe does a passable job, butit does not export a color file in a format Maya recognizes. There was a converter made by Stanford, but it only works up to Maya 8.5 (I tried it with 2014 and it failed). Meshlab converts to dae (among other formats Maya should read), but every attempt to import to Maya with color has failed...
My desktop runs the software, but my tablet is not up to the task. I have a power converter, but it only supplies 400 to 600W. I might be able to rig something, but it would not be very portable. If I am going to shell out $1000 for a new laptop, I would like to get something that I could use with the new Kinect, but I haven't seen the new one work at all yet.
