This is pretty cool.

Well I'm going to be a bit of a downer here, this technology has been around for a while and here we see it just being mass marketed.  Practically, I don't know why anyone would need this other than for work such as video game map making or structure documentation, etc.  Leads me to think it's being hyped and marketing as something revolutionary just to cash in.

I don't know, what would you guys need or reasonably want this for?  Anyhow it's still really cool.  Gets you thinking about spies mapping out whole rooms discreetly, etc.

I'd only be interested for the app development aspects. Cash in on kids with ADHD who will spend hours playing with a 3d object.

I am doing this live at my lab with a kinect. It is a project called Kinect Fusion Large Scale. Believe me, this shit would NOT run on a smartphone. In order to map my lab reasonably fast (~15 fps) I am cranking everything out of an SLI GT750m laptop. This will not be capable of mapping your room in real time on the kind of device that they show there. If it is a good sensor it may make mapping a room on a standard laptop a bit easier, but what they are showing on the demos either is limited functionality (the pet dog), or must be cutting some serious corners (the spin around your room and map thing).
