Game changer. This will become a standard part of tablets/phones of the future. Cameras will become optimized to efficiently provide this support, ala Kinect.

I'm happily impressed.

Then what do you see the use case is in the future? I'm not sure I can envision what function this would actually fill.

Use cases:

1) Games -- both for toddlers and adults

2) Viewing 3D Pictures. These probably require photosynth pictures rather than pictures with current 3D cameras.

3) 3D model exploration.

4) 3D UI
