This could be the next big thing in the real-estate marketing - imagine being able to do a random walk-through of the inside of listed properties. Heck, I'd probably even pay some sort of fee for that as a buyer if I were actively looking for a place to live.

- dazbradbury 15y agoThis kind of technology in the real estate market is inevitable. We would absolutely love this tech on our rentals site (http://www.openrent.co.uk http://www.openrent.co.uk) that just launched. Just need it to be made widely available, and matured slightly. For the time being, we're going to encourage microsoft photosynth's on the site, which is a decent alternative. It's important that 3D models can be created quickly, and the end product is visually appealing. Right now, Photosynth fills that void extremely well, but I look forward to seeing how this develops.

There's no reason you can't do this with a camera alone; take the imagery with your cell-phone cam, process on the cloud. http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~gk/PTAM/ http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~gk/PTAM/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df9WhgibCQA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df9WhgibCQA
