I understand AI for reasoning, knowledge, etc. I haven't figured out how anyone wants to spend money for this visual and video stuff. It just seems like a bad idea.
I doubt this will be useful for robotics or industrial automation, where you need an actual spatial, or functional understanding of the object/environment.
I have worked on simulation and in my day job do a lot of simulation. While physics is oftem hard and expensive you only need to write the code once.
Assets? You need to comission 3d artists and then spend hours wrangling file formats. Its extremely tedious. If we could take a photo and extract meshes Im sure we'd have a much easier time.
