I work in the field of Computer Vision based 3D Reconstruction. Although this development is "nice", it is hardly capable of the potential applications cited. Notice any 3D reconstructions used anywhere other than novelty? That's because they are mostly useless. In order to create useful 3D Reconstrucions, the underlying reconstruction system needs to recognize the object and use prior acquired references to supply information obscured from view, and/or identify transformations (damage, wear) to the "original" objects and scene being analyzed. The goal is to supply one image of an object, and receive back a correctly formed, rigged for correct motion, 3d geometry of nearly any common object. And it's coming.
