Currently the tech is in it’s infancy, as the post points out, but it is expected to grow quickly. What is a point cloud today could very well be an intelligent BIM within 5 years.

If a hand modeled conceptual building could be shown in it’s intended environment from any view with such little effort, it would add a much greater sense of placement without all of the extra effort currently involved to hand model the construction’s surroundings, or even doing a relatively simple photo comp. So even if we will still be hand modeling the main subject for conceptual work, the terms photo comp and site match could be history.

How can a system that relies on real architecture/photo’s change the world of architecture?
