Could this technology or something like it be merged with Noah Snavely's photo-tourism to create virtual 3D maps of real places? As HD video cameras continue to trickle down into consumer hands, I can see how tourist videos + tourist photographs could be used to create a seamless, photo-realistic 3D representation of popular tourist destinations, cities, landmarks. It could take Google's concept of street view to the next level. I'm sure those guys can find a way to remove people and cars, clearing up the privacy issue. Imagine getting a virtual fly-through of your route along with turn-by-turn directions? I can see this technology being used in commercial GPS devices, history class, video games, movies. Independent filmmakers on a budget could shoot "on location" without ever leaving their green-walled basement.

Really impressed with this video. You know a concept is good when it inspires other people to conceptualize.
