Scenes Actually, these steps are highly interesting and it's the
future of representing our world "as we see it". Photography
claims to be a more objective way of representing the world
around us (let's say in comparison to drawings/ paintings). The
photographer still has abundant power over the framing of a
scene and the timing of his capture. Why not capture an entire
scene over a period of time in 3d? The viewer can then choose
his objective standpoint. This is certainly the objective for
crime reconstruction.  Saying this, I don't think we're there
yet: how would this system work in scenes where surfaces (such
as walls) are in uniform colour: no features for tracking. At
the present state you still have to project visual markers into
the scene (laser, structured light or whatever) in order to
extract the 3d-structure of the scene. Otherwise it's a pretty
poor "we're here" visual
