Is added depth information really a game-changer? People have already used 2D, photosphere-style images to do what you're suggesting for streets and places visible on StreetView. [1] I understand that more information is going to be helpful, but are there many scenarios that significantly benefit from a depth map to judge accessibility?

- voltagex_ 12y agoI guess that makes sense too, but I'm fairly sure I saw ATAP used to make a walkthrough of a building, which would definitely be helpful. Thanks for the link!
- rasz_pl 12y ago>Is added depth information really a game-changer? it is if you want to automate it instead of relying on meatbags. Your link, just like many other research projects (LA pool database for example) rely on wetware looking at pictures. Depth maps let computers do all the work. You get (well, will get with tango) Quake style maps from simple video clips.
- krilnon 12y agoSure, of course. I was just responding to the context voltagex_ brought up, about sending him depth enhanced photos to look at.
