I.e. making CAD models from imagery data. <br /><br />So they are clearly following up on your line of thought about capturing 3D data from imagery and using this to augment mixed reality worlds. (and possibly provide better image drapes, as well as 3D navigation and modeling and simulation as an overlay to the real world).<br /><br /><a target="_blank" title="http://www.vexcel.com/image_gallery/crange/index.html" href="http://www.vexcel.com/image_gallery/crange/index.html" rel="nofollow">www.vexcel.com/image_gallery/crange/index.html</a> Microsoft recently bought VEXEL, which is in the "close range photogrametry" business.
