Such a wonderful product. Also an uncommonly informative video that sent my mind going at 826 miles per hour. If their product is a window to the future I looked out and saw, in 20 years:
Loads of people walking around with even better 3D sensors stuck somewheres on their head. The devices are networked (a feature which has shown the ability to save lives in a number of tense evacuation conditions) and upload to a common database. Algorithms have sufficiently numerous snippets to calculate optimal stitching. With haptic VR you really can go to a place without leaving your home. Clever people are also devising agents that go out and calculate optimal itineraries for busy travelers. There is a market in there to keep top routes relatively clear.
A handful of companies vie to be gatekeepers to this data. I think Google is amongst them. In some timelines people are micro-paid cataloguers and explorers. Most people get a tiny amount for just walking around and sharing. Some teams are very skilled at this and get paid well for their unique 3dgrapher experiences. Tombs and such had labor supply so high, they were cheaply and quickly mapped out. Level design became a fair bit easier. Mostly boring places left to map. So dull, pay is decent for walking around thoroughly in them.
The 3D sensors are good enough that facial recognition beats anything a human can do. People get micro-currency kickbacks if they let their expression geometry and infradata be tracked as they visit various stores. The prior mentioned gatekeepers use location and networked devices to track/monitor your face and infer emotions as you browse assorted merchandise. Main individual utility is mostly that no one ever gets lost anymore and all users know where everything is. No matter this is their first visit. Government expands funding into denser, more reliable storage. Everyone benefits. Laws really need to take into account that as soon as you leave the house, your every step is tracked. Everyone is hence at least a minor criminal.
Laptops and such are also fitted with similar more precise sensors so Ninja Bull Growth Hackers can track every minute subsecond flicker of expression, every heartbeat and temperature fluctuation as you browse whatever the current iteration of social media photo sharing is. Opt-in by default, setting up micropayments is a tad tricky.
