I did a similar project as a toy many years ago: https://nbelakovski.github.io/topography_neural_net/ https://nbelakovski.github.io/topography_neural_net/ In my case I just used it as a vehicle for learning about neural networks. I couldn't really think of a compelling use case. I wonder if the author of this article of the authors of the model have found one.

Depth from ML was all the rage for a short bit, and I think most people filed it under "Things we can do with ML that we could already do better other ways". E.g., with a second image. Certainly it will find a niche use, but during that time the headlines in robotics papers were all about replacing traditional depth /range sensing with it, which doesn't seem plausible.

  It's being used a lot to turn regular videos/images into stereoscopic VR content. Mostly pornography. Nunif has tools to convert images/videos or even turn your desktop into a stereoscopic image and live-stream it to your VR headset over WiFi[1] and there's workflow nodes for ComfyUI[2]. I tried the former and it reached conversation speeds of around 10FPS for full HD content on consumer hardware, so definitely usable. Still, I don't really see the point outside adding a gimmick to vacation photos or pornography. Don't think anyone would want to convert and consume a non-VR hollywood movie this way, but feel free to correct me on that.

    There's enough porn in real VR180 format though. There's whole platforms for it like sexlikereal. And studios specialising in it with famous performers. Even for that I don't know why you'd want it artificial. Porn is all about being as real as possible.
