I told a landscape designer it should be possible to walk around a property with a camera and then automatically build a 3d model. Turns out others are working on it. Good job. FYI what he does is take measurements and make a 2D top down drawing and then start sketching concepts for hard-scape ideas around the building.
Ultimately he'd want a drone to fly around a house and automatically creaete a 3d model and 2d plan. That would probably be exceptionally useful. He's pretty efficient at doing measurements and drawings, so fully automatic is almost the only way to be useful to him. Of course that's just one guy but I thought the example may be helpful.
I tried a Rift last week for the first time and the first thing I thought of was getting a drone to do a scan of a room. People could use it to set up their "home space" like in Snow Crash/Gibson's stuff.
