I’ll believe in its commercial value once I see a four legged chair scanned.

This demonstration I saw had no fancy rig, it was practically just a guy moving a webcam around an object by hand. (was a paper model of a church I think..darn I really wish I could find the link).

If retailers cant be bothered/afford to do something like that its doughtfull they have the investment or the motivation to do any practical AR catalogue anyway.

I just don’t see IKEA slowly moving a camera around each of its products, and even more so for smaller retailers.

Not so sure about that…havnt we seen fairly recently 3d-reconstruction merely from slow moving a camera around an object?
Cant quite find the link now, but there’s definitely impressive auto-modelling from footage now.

Anyway, yes, indoor uses. (and relative-uses in general) are a bit overlooked.
Oh, and standard markers please!
